Thoughts on theatre, new links for writers

So, I heard people talking about plays twice today, on cbc radio. The 40th anniversary of TNB is on this year, with a big gala celebration planned for Fredericton in two weeks. I'd love to see them hit the road again; it's a shame the teevee and youtube make that so difficult financially.

This morning Walter Learning recounted a great story of being thanked by a farmer in Sussex for staging a play that "changed his life." The show? Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? Who says farmers from Sussex don't get the big picture....

In any case, check out the new links - they're mostly Fredericton based but they have good taste in beer so I guess we'll overlook that for now. Cheers!
