[Candrama] CATR 2025 reminder + Alumnae Theatre Book Launch

[Robin Whittaker]

Dear Candrama Colleagues,

I hope most of you have been able to enjoy the spring weather as we ease into summer! I’m looking forward to seeing many of you during the online Act for CATR 2025 this Monday and Tuesday (May 26 & 27) and in person in Regina, SK June 25-28 (https://theatreagora.ca/catr-conference-2025<https://theatreagora.ca/catr-conference-2025/>).

I’d also love to see you in Toronto at Alumnae Theatre on Monday, June 9 for the Toronto launch of my book, Alumnae Theatre Company: Nonprofessionalizing Theatre in Canada (UTP). I’ve pasted Alumnae’s Press Release below—note the generous discount UTP is offering that evening—and the link to the book is in my signature.

Warmly,
Robin.
