> "personalities" from the past and the present: playwrights, directors,
> actors, technicians, stage managers, designers, costumers, artistic
> directors, etc.

> Do you have suggestions for me of women in Canadian theatre who are/were
> outstanding artists and who have made a significant contribution and
> difference? I don't want to overlook anyone and Canada is a vast country
> with a significant history. My knowledge certainly has its limits and I
> thank you in advance for allowing me to draw on yours.

>
> Thanks for your ideas and any names you can send me.
