This has been the first year in some time without major changes to report. Moira Day and Deborah Cottreau continue as our editors, with Stephen Johnson as Executive Editor. Kim Solga, Rosa Fracassa, Lindsay Bell and Allana Lindgren at the University of Toronto, and Luke Muller at the University of Saskatchewan, have continued as Editorial Assistants. The Management Board has remained the same, with Domenico Pietropaolo, Stephen Johnson, Paula Sperdakos, Richard Plant and Ed Mullally, as well as the two editors.
These individuals have all contributed to the publication of two issues of the journal in the past year–Volume 20 no 2 (Fall/Automne 1999), a theme issue co-edited by Moira Day and Don Perkins on Canadian theatre in an international context, and Volume 21 no 1 (Spring/Printemps 2000), guest-edited by Sherrill Grace and including a special section on ‘Staging the North,’ as well as a backlog of book reviews. Volume 21 no 2 (Fall/Automne 2000), a general-topic issue, is at press.
All issues of the journal, past and present, are now published electronically, and subscribers to the journal receive a password providing access online to the entire run.
There are a few recent or imminent changes. Bruce Barton has already
taken on the responsibilities of English-language Book Review Editor, while
Louise Forsyth continues as his French-language counterpart. Stephen Johnson
will remain as chair of the Management Board, but will cease to be Executive
Editor as of June, replaced by Richard Plant. A small revision to the constitution
will allow for an open call for applicants to the editorship and an overlap
of one year when the editorship changes.
Subscriptions hold steady, the usual grant applications have been successful.
We hoped to increase both, and will continue to pursue those goals.
