Greetings all,

I'm looking for information on a Canadian playwright named Louise Thompson (not the Harlem Renaissance personality Louise Thompson Patterson) who lived and worked in the East Village in the 1960s and 70s.  She was a theater critic for the "Majority Report" for a number of years and was part of several theater collectives.  I know of two plays she produced, "Impression of Loving," an anti-marriage tract staged by the New York Radical Feminists in 1973, and "Sexist Pig My Darling" performed at the Lincoln Square Arts Guild in 1979.  If anyone on the list ever met, worked with, or even heard of Thompson, please let me know.

Thanks!
Sara
