Playwrights Union Publications:
The Playwrights Union of Canada has two publications for sale related
to the Canadian Theatre Conference held in Saskatoon last May. The Proceedings
($3.00) contain a number of reports and excerpts of speeches given at the
Conference, including those by Maude Barlow, Robert Wallace, Philip Silver,
and Guy Vanderhaege. The articles raise many issues important to all of
us. Theatre Memoirs($9.25) is a very special chapbook put together especially
for the Conference. It is a collection of 15 "warm ruminations around
the last half-century or so of (English) Canadian theatre." Included
here, to name a few, are pieces by Sharon Pollock, Joy Coghill, Margaret
Hollingsworth, Urjo Kareda & Dennis Foon. I was fascinated by the wide
variety of observations, opinions and "memoires." There are things
to move you and things to think about. To top it all off is Ric Knowles'
"Just the High Points? A Canadian Theatre Chronology" which takes
us in snapshots from before 1606 to May 1998. To order your copies, contact
PUC at 54 Wolseley St., 2nd Flr, Toronto, ON, M5T 1A5 or visit their website
at http://www.puc.ca.
