Robin Whittaker argues that new plays can thrive in amateur theatres, which have freedoms unavailable to professionalised companies. And he proves it with ten relevant, engaging play scripts originally produced by one of Canada?s longest-running theatres, Edmonton?s acclaimed Walterdale Theatre Associates. This collection challenges notions that amateur theatre is solely a phenomenon of the pre-professional past. In this, the first North American anthology in eighty years, Whittaker makes an important contribution to Canadian theatre studies. Plays by: Brad Fraser, Mary Glenfield, Warren Graves, Gordon Pengilly, Barbara Sapergia & Geoffrey Ursell, Trevor Schmidt, Jonathan Seinen, Scott Sharplin, Mark Stubbings, and Wilfred Watson. 410 0$aCanadian plays series. 606 $aCanadian drama$y21st century 615 0$aCanadian drama 676 $a812.608 701 $aWhittaker$b Robin C$01754702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910138886703321 996 $aHot thespian action$94191175 997 $aUNINA
