As we look towards the season to come and all the incredible productions we have in store, I thought we should take a minute to reflect on just how far we’ve come over the past five decades spent producing professional theatre for audiences throughout the province as well as outside of our own borders.

STANTEC Photo Credit Our image for Any Given Moment features a photo of actor Barbara Duncan taken during rehearsals for our 1980 production of the Tennessee Williams play, The Glass Menagerie, directed by Malcolm Black. This image was the first one our designers gravitated towards, using it as part of their pitch for this season’s look. We all agreed that it was the perfect choice. There was only one problem. We had to track Barbara down to get permission and all we had was a phone number. Several calls were made and each went straight to an answering machine. After a couple of weeks with no reply, and with our print deadline fast approaching, we decided to swap out the photo. We were all a little heartbroken. Then, just days before we were set to go to print, we get a message from Barbara saying, “Of course, you have my permission. I have such fond memories of work at TNB with Malcolm Black. If every show had been as rewarding as those, I would probably still be in the business”. Thank you, Barbara!

The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

  • Toward a National Theatre: the Canada Council, 1957-1982
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

The Umbrella Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 3 Apr-26 Jun 1966 Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 9 Oct-18 Dec 1966 An adventurous program on the arts, The Umbrella brought some of the articulate cultural commentary that had previously been the territory of CBC radio to the television network. It was essentially the successor to Show On Shows (q.v.), which included features by some of the same contributors and which was also produced by John Kennedy. The host of The Umbrella was William Ronald, the painter who had achieved recognition for his abstracts, as a member of the Toronto group, Painters Eleven, in the 1950s, and whose status grew through the l960s. The show's announcer and Ronald's on-camera colleague was Lloyd Robertson. The first show, perhaps typically, centred on Ronald himself; he talked about his own work to art students. Subsequent programs moved to wider, different subjects, both local and international in focus. In the first month, for example, Ronald presented his interview with the legendary artist Marcel Duchamp, filmed in New York, and a program on the burgeoning cultural scene in London, Ontario, and interviews with painters Greg Curnoe and Jack Chambers, and with writer James Reaney. Subjects included the visual, literary, and performing arts, and regular contributors included Rita Greer Allen, Barry Callaghan, and Timothy Findley.
