Also, the easiest way to nominate a person for the encyclopedia is to take
the bio in the program for the latest show that person has performed in and
to type it into an e-mail. I take this information, go into my own warehouse
of reviews and info, and the profile is almost done. For this service, you
are listed as a contributor and put in the masthead.

New Features:
So You Want to Work in Canadian Theatre!!??
