History of first courses in Canadian Drama

[Jenn Stephenson]

(I am forwarding this post to the list at Aida’s request … Aida’s original message got bounced from the list for some reason.)

Good morning Jenn, Moira, and colleagues,
I too am very inspired by this, our history, and have been copying it all into a Word doc so I don't lose it. It would be great to have it published somewhere.
In my high school drama program we embraced the Canadian plays of the 70s most eagerly -- my fondest memories, and what made me choose a theatre career, was seeing Handcuffs at the Tarragon and staging The Ecstasy of Rita Joe in our Grade 13 drama class. Heady and hopeful days.
