Hello All

I am begging anyone who reads this to let me know, as soon as possible, when
you spot bugs in the system (small ones like typos and grammar and big ones
like whole pages missing and you getting the Canoe generic). I ran into one
recently that was very bad - a calendar month that began on the wrong date.
This sounds silly (and it was easily corrected) but it is potentially
catastrophic (imagine inscribing a month's worth of theatre dates all on the
wrong days...).

BTW, re: calendar -  90+ productions registered so far from 30+ companies.
Still nothing from Saskatchewan and participation from BC is nothing to
dance in the streets about. As regions go, though, I've got to commend the
Atlantic Provinces. Jeepz, they really know how to use free resources.

I have removed the "Boos" from the "Bravos and Boos" section because a) some
of the comments are no longer germane and give a skewed vision of the
project (which some of the press seems to hone in on) and b) because some of
the people cited no longer agree with their own initial reactions (and have
written me to tell me so).

Meanwhile, don't forget Heavenly Voices for your regional news, job postings
or audition calls. (http://www.canadiantheatre.com/heavenlyvoices.html)

And announce your show!
