Subject: Women in Canadian Theatre

Dear colleagues,

I have been invited to contribute articles to a 4-volume dictionary currently being prepared on women in theatre everywhere for the publishing house in Paris Des femmes. My contribution will be an overview of women in anglophone Canadian theatre and short pieces on 5-10 Canadian “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.
