[Candrama] Candrama Digest, Vol 61, Issue 2

Mon Jun 7 13:10:48 EDT 2021

Hello Milton (and Kim),

This is amazing! We are always looking for Canadian plays that have been
recorded. Playwrights especially need and want them for
promotional purposes, and of course others want them for educational
development as well.

I guess they would pretty much all have to be non-union artists or they
wouldn't be allowed to share, let alone to do so for free! I will check
this out further later.

A great project, Milton! Thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

Best Wishes,

Rebecca
