Stats Can News

[Gaetan Charlebois]

Today, Friday, September 10, 1999, Stats Can announced that over 11,000,000
Canadians used the Internet in 1998 (up 2,000,000 from 1997).

This seems to make sense. Of the 110 theatre companies who will read this
message, 40 have already registered over 100 of their productions at The
National Theatre Calendar and Registry (NATHCARE), a free service at
canadiantheatre.com, a site visited by thousands of theatrephiles each
month.

Are you won of the 11,000,000, or one of the ones waiting for the phone to
ring?

To have your theatre production/event listed in The National Theatre
Calendar is free but you must follow the guidelines and you must have an
e-mail address to receive direct-from-The-Calendar queries about your
production from potential customers. All correspondence for inclusion in, or
about, The Calendar must be by e-mail. No ballet, opera, readings, or
non-theatre events will be included in The Calendar.

In an e-mail with the subject heading "Calendar" give the following
information, with each piece of information on a separate line (give no
other information):
- Province or Territory
- Municipality
- Company/Venue (Both if not the same; ie: TNB/Capitol Theatre)
- Production title
- Last names of playwright/s/composer/s (ie: Greenberg/Betts)
- Language of production
- Status of company (professional, amateur)
- Dates of run (not including previews; indicate year)
- Dark days/dates
- Contact's e-mail address
You must send a separate e-mail for each production (ie: of your season)

If information changes, please advise us and we will make changes whenever
possible. Use your six-letter code (described below) and submission
information in follow-up correspondence.

After you have submitted your production's information it will be included
in the calendar usually within two days. Your production will be assigned a
six-letter code which, as much as possible, corresponds directly to your
production (ie: the code TOTABI might indicate a production in TOronto, at
TArragon, of BIlly Bishop). Your premiere and the information you have
provided will be highlighted in red on the date of your premiere (the trick
is to try and schedule your premiere on a night when there are no others and
to submit the date to The Calendar as quickly as possible). Your six-letter
code will follow through to your closing date.

That's it! If you are feeling kindly about this service and wish to thank
us, simply put us in your production's program's thank-you list as
"www.canadiantheatre.com" - the more people who know about this service, the
better it will be for everyone. And if you're feeling especially thankful,
send us a copy of the program.

If you would like another place where you might publicize your production
within canadiantheatre.com, visit Heavenly Voices (and please follow the
guidelines there as well).
