A good number of members even called the office on the last day of voting to say they’d just heard about it. In hopes of catching the eye of a few more people, I have asked the editor to set the words DUES REFERENDUM in boldface caps every time that it appears in this column. Members will recall that we last held a DUES REFERENDUM in late 2011, when we put forward two proposals for decision. The first was a phased-in increase in basic dues over the course of five years. The second was for smaller pre-approved increases keyed to inflation, to take effect in nine years, and every four years thereafter. While both proposals received majority approval, they did not receive the needed two-thirds support, and both were defeated. The goal of the proposed dues increase was to make up the inflationary loss of 29% of the value of the basic dues level since it was last adjusted. Today, that cumulative loss is around 33%, and the need for an increase has become even more acute. Despite cost-cutting that began even before the DUES REFERENDUM, including the eventual loss of two staff positions, those of you who read or viewed the recent NAGM reports will know that we ran a deficit last year, and will do the same again this year. Knowing full well that nobody wants to pay more dues (including me), but in recognition of the fact that Council has a responsibility to manage the finances of the association in a prudent manner, we will be conducting a new DUES REFERENDUM later this year, or early next year. Some members have asked why we are conducting a DUES REFERENDUM so soon after the last one. The answer is simple: we need to – our current basic dues rate is 14 years old now, and it no longer pays for what it used to. In fact, we have recently had to dip into emergency funds to pay the bills. Council cannot responsibly ignore this situation, and neither can the membership. We will be giving this plenty of discussion time, and listening carefully to what you have to say. If you have questions, now is the time to ask them. Talk to your regional Councillor, or write to me at [email protected]. In completely related news, four of Council’s major projects from last term have recently taken effect: a rebuilding of the advisory structure, a complete overhaul of the joining process, the final two independent/small-scale theatre agreements, and a brand new insurance plan. Info on these is all over the website, Council Connection blog (councilconnection.blogspot.ca) and recent issues of the Council Link. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these updates to your association. Going forward, Council will be going back to our diversity discussions from a couple of years ago, assessing progress, and refining our course forward. We’ll also be taking a good, long look at dance represen- tation, and how we can improve it. And lots more, because there is never nothing that needs work. If you want to see these and other improvements continue to happen, we need the resources to do it. DUES REFERENDUM. ‘Nuff said. Allan Teichman President SPRING 2013 2 EQUITY QUARTERLY Notes from Arden R. Ryshpan When Vanity Fair magazine published an article in their January 2013 issue entitled “Of Moose and Men,” about whether or not Canada and Canadians were funny, it prompted a vehement response from both readers and other journalists. Given that editor Graydon Carter is Canadian, one might have expected more from him – a relevant article, instead of a rehash of boring tropes about our dour, polite nature, with liberal mentions of Tim Hortons thrown in for good measure. This is particularly surprising since the same issue contained an article about Martin Short, generally considered by his peers to be the most naturally and genuinely funny person in the business – and, might I add, Canadian. Given that half the funny people in Hollywood are Canadians, it seems passing strange that there remains any debate about whether or not we have sense of humour up here. Comedy, as anyone who has ever watched a dubbed film can tell you, usually doesn’t translate well, literally and figuratively. Which is a shame because you can tell a hell of a lot about a country by what makes its people laugh until they cry. Canadians seem to be better known for the comedic talent we export (like the above mentioned Short and all of his Second City/SCTV colleagues, just to name a few) than the humour that stays at home. This issue presents only a very small selection of the people who have chosen to stay in Canada and work in the comedic vein – and proves without a doubt that the article in Vanity Fair is just plain wrong. You’ll also see how humour, when combined with drama (or even tragedy) becomes even more potent, reinforcing the old adage that comedy is serious business. We hope that this issue of EQ offers you some new ways of thinking about the live performances you are laughing hysterically about. On that note, we asked some performers to tell us about the funniest theatre production they ever saw. You’ll find their answers on Page 16. As for me, the funniest piece of theatre I ever saw was a gibberish clown version of the Scottish play called MöcShplat, done by a small group of crazily talented people in Montreal back in the late 1990s. I don’t ever remember laughing as hard in the theatre as I did while watching that show. The nonsense language and visual humour mixed extremely clever with slightly demented in a way that has stayed with me all these years. Arden R.

  • Canada's Public Space
    CBC/Radio-Canada: Canada’s Public Space Where we’re going At CBC/Radio-Canada, we have been transforming the way we engage with Canadians. In June 2014, we launched Strategy 2020: A Space for Us All, a plan to make the public broadcaster more local, more digital, and financially sustainable. We’ve come a long way since then, and Canadians are seeing the difference. Many are engaging with us, and with each other, in ways they could not have imagined a few years ago. Our connection with the people we serve can be more personal, more relevant, more vibrant. Our commitment to Canadians is that by 2020, CBC/Radio-Canada will be Canada’s public space where these conversations live. Digital is here Last October 19, Canadians showed us that their future is already digital. On that election night, almost 9 million Canadians followed the election results on our CBC.ca and Radio-Canada.ca digital sites. More precisely, they engaged with us and with each other, posting comments, tweeting our content, holding digital conversations. CBC/Radio-Canada already reaches more than 50% of all online millennials in Canada every month. We must move fast enough to stay relevant to them, while making sure we don’t leave behind those Canadians who depend on our traditional services. It’s a challenge every public broadcaster in the world is facing, and CBC/Radio-Canada is further ahead than many. Our Goal The goal of our strategy is to double our digital reach so that 18 million Canadians, one out of two, will be using our digital services each month by 2020.

All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
