Chinese and Asian Theatre in Canada

[Ric Knowles]

Hi,

The closest I can come is an Asian Canadian company run by Nina Aquino (a
Filipina Canadian director) in Toronto (who has directed Betty Quan's *Mother
Tongue*, part of which is in Cantonese). She can be reached through (how's this
for interculturalism/transculturalism/globalization?) Native Earth, where she
also works as an administrator. Other than that, perhaps the West Coast is the
best bet...

Cheers,

Ric
