History of first courses in Canadian Drama

[Alan Filewod]

Prior to Fred Euringer, Bill Angus was very involved in promoting Canadian theatre at Queen's -- he was active in the national theatre movement in the late 1940s. Some of his files were still kicking around the department when I was there in the mid-80s.

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.
