ARCHIVES and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS QUEEN ELIZABETH II LIBRARY MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY, ST. JOHN'S, NL Rick Boland Collection COLL-124 Website: Archives and Special Collections Author: Gail Weir/Colleen Quigley Date: 2012 Scope and Content: Rick Boland deposited his papers with the Archives and Special Collections in the fall of 1982 when he was working with the Archives in the establishment of the Newfoundland Performing Arts Archives Project. The papers were generated during the 1970s and 80s and reflect his involvement in the local performing arts scene in the areas of stage, film and radio, as well as his interest in the preservation of aspects of these media. His work has included acting, directing, playwriting and archiving. Custodial History: Deposited by Richard M. Boland, 1982, 1985, 1992, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2011. Restrictions: Access is restricted on Files 1.01.003, 1.02.001 - 1.02.005, and 8.33.004. Scripts may not be copied without written permission from the authors. While there are no other restrictions on the remainder of the files, users should be aware that copyright laws and regulations do apply. Biography or History: Richard "Rick" Michael Aloysius Boland (1953-), actor, director and writer, was born at Petrie's Crossing, Curling, Newfoundland 7 August 1953 to Jean Brown and Michael Finton Boland. At age 3 Boland moved with his family to Stephenville and then, at age 9, back to Corner Brook. He attended St. Stephen's primary school in Stephenville, the Sacred Heart elementary school in Curling. Following graduation from Regina High School in Regina, Corner Brook Boland attended Memorial University in St. John's for 2 years.While in high school, Boland became involved in a group called Youtheatre, under the direction of Jim Boyles, an Irishman trained in improvisational theatre, who, had come to Corner Brook to teach school. Youtheatre had started out as the Junior Playmakers, a branch of the Playmakers theatre company. Boland's first tour was a trip with this group to Ottawa. Following high school, he stayed in Corner Brook for a year continuing his involvement in local theatre, including directing a production in Curling, until Youtheatre ceased operation. For the next few years, Boland attended Memorial University in St. John's, where he joined the MUN Drama Society (MUDS) and first met future local performers such as Mary Walsh, Jane Dingle, and Tommy Sexton. He found he was not suited to the academic life and returned to Corner Brook for a time, until Newfoundland Travelling Theatre Company asked him to take part in a January tour of Newfoundland of one of their productions. Boland moved on to take part in the Mummers Troupe's Gros Mourn where he met Donna Butt, who was to become a big influence in his life. He performed in the annual Mummers Christmas Play and several of their other productions during the mid-70s. Following the cross-Canada tour of "What's That Got To Do With the Price of Fish?" Boland and others of the Mummers Troupe became disillusioned with the management of the troupe. He and Donna Butt and two others left the company and formed Community Stage, which existed for a short time but did not produce anything. He appeared in several films during this time and spent most of 1978 working in various capacities on the film, The Adventures of Faustus Bidgood. Then, along with Donna Butt, David Ross and three other former Mummers, he helped form the Rising Tide Theatre Company. He co-writes, directs and performs in many of their productions and acts as the Co-Artistic Director for the theatre company CornerBoys Inc. with Mary Walsh. Boland has appeared in various television productions and, in 1985, he was nominated for an ACTRA award for best actor in a television leading role for his performance in an episode of Yarns From Pigeon Inlet. Boland has appeared in other television shows such as: Up at Ours, Tales from Pigeon Inlet, Yesterday's Heroes and Hatching, Matching and Dispatching. He has also starred in numerous feature films including: Finding Mary March, The Divine Ryans, Extraordinary Visitor, The Breadmaker, The Wall, Young Triffie's Been Made Away With, and Diverted. In 2009 Boland was inducted into the Newfoundland Labrador Arts Council's Hall of Honour.

ISBN 978-0307401335 The contemporary award-winning British folk band Mumford & Sons poses an important question for all those who venture into history searching for an abso- lute truth. They poignantly ask in one of their popular lyrics, “How can you say that your truth is better than ours?” The true story is an elusive commodity in the retelling of the past, and perhaps the best we can hope for is some version of a truth.

    Canadian Television by Jennifer Burwell

    Canadian Television by Jennifer Burwell Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The portrayal of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and queer people in English Canadian television programming has been sporadic. There have been several significant appearances of glbtq characters on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Canada's national public broadcasting system. The recent advent of PrideVision, a digital cable television network with a mandate to air glbtq Canadian content, will certainly lead to an increase not only in the presence of gays and lesbians on television, but also in the number of shows developed for a glbtq audience. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Perhaps because it is a public broadcaster with a mandate to inform and enlighten as well as entertain, CBC has aired more television programs with glbtq content than Canada's other national network, CTV. CBC's Degrassi Jr. High (1987-1989), part of the youth-centered Degrassi series, dealt with abortion, single parenthood, sex, death, racism, AIDS, feminism, and gay issues as situations that the characters had to work through within the serialized narrative structures, while avoiding the "topic of the week" feel that is endemic to the genre. One episode, for example, featured the pre-adolescent character Caitlin discussing lesbianism with her English teacher, Miss Avery. A spin-off of the Degrassi series, Liberty Street (CBC, 1995-1996), featured Billy Merasty as Nathan Jones, a gay native ex-bicycle courier. The producers of Liberty Street went on to create Riverdale (CBC, 1997-2000), with gay character George Patillo. In early 2003, CBC announced that gay playwright Michel Tremblay will write Quebec's first television show to feature an on-going gay relationship, Le Coeur Découvert.
