Kareda titled each diary 'How It Works' and assigned a volume number to each. The diaries record minutely and in vivid detail virtually every aspect of his professional, literary, social and personal life. The first diary covers his last months as literary manager at the Stratford Theatre, and his brief ill-fated period as one of the four members of the artistic directorate chosen to succeed Robin Phillips in 1980. The rest of the diaries (vols. XI - XXX) relate to Kareda's years as artistic director at the Tarragon Theatre. They provide a unique view of his work at the theatre and the development of indigenous Canadian playwriting during the last fifteen years. The diaries offer a perspective on a multitude of cultural issues at play both in Toronto and across the entire country, as well as documenting at the same time Kareda's personal and domestic life. 3971120 File Textual records R9909 11 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works 29 July-20 December 1980 3971121 File Textual records R9909 12 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XI 4 May-2 November 1987 3971122 File Textual records R9909 13 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XII 3 November 1987-15 June 1988 3971123 File Textual records R9909 14 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XIII 16 June 1988-3 March 1989 3971124 File Textual records R9909 15 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XIV 4 March-26 November 1989 3971125 File Textual records R9909 2022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XV 27 November 1989-16 September 16 18 1990 3971126 File Textual records R9909 17 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XVI 17 September 1990-1 May 1991 3971127 File Textual records R9909 18 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XVII 2 May 1991-2 February 1992 3971128 File Textual records R9909 19 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XVIII 3 February-10 November 1992 3971129 File Textual records R9909 2022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XIX 11 November 1992-6 September 11018 1993 3971130 File Textual records R9909 111182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XX 7 September 1993-26 April 1994 3971131 File Textual records R9909 112182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXI 27 April 1994-5 February 1995 3971132 File Textual records R9909 21 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXII 6 February-29 November 1995 3971133 File Textual records R9909 2022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXIII 30 November 1995-6 November 22 18 1996 3971134 File Textual records R9909 2022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXIV 7 November 1996-2 September 23 18 1997 3971135 File Textual records R9909 24 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXV 3 September 1997-27 April 1998 3971136 File Textual records R9909 25 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXVI 28 April 1998-16 February 1999 3971137 File Textual records R9909 26 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXVII 17 February-19 December 1999 3971138 File Textual records R9909 2022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXVIII 20 December 1999-26 October 27 18 2000 3971139 File Textual records R9909 28 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXIX 27 October 2000-20 June 2001 3971140 File Textual records R9909 29 182022-01-01 Diary: How It Works XXX 21 June-8 November 2001 198755 Series R9909 2022-01-01 Journalism and other writings [textual record] The series consists of unfiled writings, which include notes, drafts, and 1966-2001. manuscripts, n.d., 1971 and 1974 -[197-?], as well as two sub-series documenting Urjo Kareda's journalistic career: Print journalism, 1966-2001, and Radio journalism, 1971-1999. 198755 Series R9909 Journalism and other writings [textual record] The series consists of unfiled writings, which include notes, drafts, and 1966-2001. manuscripts, n.d., 1971 and 1974 -[197-?], as well as two sub-series documenting Urjo Kareda's journalistic career: Print journalism, 1966-2001, and Radio journalism, 1971-1999. 3971141 File Textual records R9909 31 90 [Unfiled writings] - The Old New Cinema March 1971 3971142 File Textual records R9909 32 90 [Unfiled writings] - Lecture: The Natives Are Restless n.d., 1972 3971143 File Textual records R9909 [Unfiled writings] - Thesis: Chekhov: The Wood Demon & Uncle Vanya 1974-[197-] 33 90 3971144 File Textual records R9909 34 90 [Unfiled writings] - Notes: The Cherry Orchard (Chekhov) n.d. 3971145 File Textual records R9909 35 90 [Unfiled writings - Various] n.d. 3971145 File Textual records R9909 36 90 [Unfiled writings - Various] n.d. 198758 Sub-series R9909 2022-01-01 Print journalism [textual record] The sub-series includes clippings of reviews written by Urjo Kareda for the 1966-2001.

Although not born in the island, he soon became better known than such writers as Al Pittman and Ted Russell. Four full- length plays (Colour the Flesh the Colour of Dust, The Head, Guts and Sound Bone Dance, Jacob's Wake and The Gayden Chronicles) and six one-act plays (Tiln, Quiller, On the Rim of the Curve, Therese's Creed, The Fisherman's Revenge and the unpublished Not as a Dream) were staged between 1971 and 1978. But after the workshop presentation of The Gayden Chronicles in Connecticut in 1978, no new Cook texts reached the stage. This was not falling silent: Cook continued to write stage plays. This career is most seriously shaped: obscurity to national fame, then abrupt descent to near-obscurity. Cook, however, does not write only for the stage. He is the outstanding Canadian radio dramatist of his generation, with over fifty plays. Thirdly, Cook is an essayist: his best columns for the St John's Evening Telegram enhance his interpretation of what defines Newfoundland and examine big issues of Canadian culture.

    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance; vol. 20 (35), 2019 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2083-8530.20.03 ∗ Irena R. Makaryk and Ann Hemingway The Archive and the Digital Age: Field Notes from the Pedagogical Front Abstract: The digital environment in which the humanities are now firmly immersed has opened the door to innovative ways for students to interact with traditional formats such as archival and print material, and to develop a deep and personal understanding of topics and issues. Libraries, museums and archives are in the unique position of facilitating the creation of digital initiatives in the classroom by offering up their collections as “learning laboratories,” and by sharing their expertise in technology, information, and digital literacy as well as data management. Through active collaboration with course instructors, they can build bridges between their collections and the digital skills students need in order to embrace the new learning paradigm and to help lead them into the future. This paper outlines an archival-digital pilot launched in 2015 at the University of Ottawa, Canada. It situates the project in its historical context; details its early and subsequent iterations; and surveys the assumptions, challenges, surprises, and pleasures of introducing students to archival sources and to acquiring digital skills. Keywords: Digital Humanities, Hamlet, Shakespeare reception, teaching Shakespeare, Shakespeare in Canada. Shakespeare400 In the Fall of 2015, the University of Ottawa, situated in the nation’s capital, was preparing for Shakespeare400, a nearly four-month celebration of Shakespeare’s afterlife that was to begin in January 2016, and which encompassed scholarly, pedagogical, creative, and community outreach activities.

  • Rehearsal, Performance, and Management Practices by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
    Six Companies in Search of Shakespeare: Rehearsal, Performance, and Management Practices by The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, The Stratford Shakespeare Festival, The Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare & Company, Shakespeare‘s Globe and The American Shakespeare Center DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Andrew Michael Blasenak, M.F.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Stratos Constantinidis, Advisor Professor Nena Couch Professor Beth Kattelman i Copyright by Andrew Michael Blasenak 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the artistic and managerial visions of six "non-profit" theatre companies which have been dedicated to the revitalization of Shakespeare‘s plays in performance from 1935 to 2012. These six companies were The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, The Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare & Company, Shakespeare‘s Globe and The American Shakespeare Center. The following questions are considered in the eight chapters of this study:1) Did the re- staging of Shakespeare's plays in six "non-profit" theatre companies introduce new stagecraft and managerial strategies to these companies? 2) To what degree did the directors who re-staged Shakespeare's plays in these six "non-profit" theatre companies successfully integrate the audience in the performance? 3) How important was the coaching of actors in these six "non-profit"

The collection also contains some of Bryden’s original research on the history of theatre, as well as journals that detail the productions he viewed in London, Toronto, Stratford, Ont., and Niagara-on-the-Lake (Shaw Festival). Biographical sketch: Ronald Bryden, who devoted much of his professional life to writing and teaching about the theatre, was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad in 1927. He came to Canada as a teenager and completed his high school education in St. Catherines, Ont. He attended Trinity College at the University of Toronto, where he became involved with the thriving theatre community at the university. After graduating with a bachelor of arts in English language and literature in 1950, he moved to England and attended Cambridge University.
