[Gaetan Charlebois]

Hello All

As I continue to work, correcting and adding profiles, creating new sections
of the site (one of which I'll tell you about next week) I am constantly
amazed by the generousity of all the people who give willingly of their time
and expertise to help get the message of Canadian theatre out. Not only do
they do these things without whining, they actually do it in a spirit of fun
and the e-mail I receive from all these helpers is a joy to read. About 100
or so different individuals across the country have taken time out to
improve canadiantheatre.com for no more reward than a thank you from me. If
I died tomorrow, I would be glowing in the ground.

On that cheerful note, I may have someone in Saskatchewan who will be
gathering information for me towards the general improvment of the profiles
about that heretofore secretive place. Of this I am glad. Remember, anytime
you want to get on the bandwagon and draw my attention to something you feel
is important in your community, feel free to do so. I still need spies in BC
and the Atlantic Provinces.

This week the Montreal Young Company, Bill Glassco's newest venture,
launched. As one colleague said, a launch is ALWAYS good news. You can read
reviews of the works they performed in the Reviews Archive on Thursday.

Have a good week.
