This book is the first comprehensive study of the theatre of
contemporary Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta to appear in
thirty years. It raises the curtain on western theatre and the
accomplishments of the many facets of theatre: educators, writers,
performers, and more.
"West-words "gives the reader a bird's-eye view of the contemporary
theatre scene across the prairies. Eighteen essays written by
scholars, educators, dramaturges, publishers, designers, directors,
and playwrights--all actively involved in the Canadian prairie
theatre--explore the professional, cultural, and aesthetic
complexities of creating, producing, performing, and publishing
dramatic "words" in the Canadian "west."
While acknowledging the role of older, established theatres--like
Prairie Theatre Exchange in Manitoba, The Globe Theatre and
Persephone in Saskatchewan, and Alberta Theatre Projects, Theatre
Network, Workshop West, and the Citadel in Alberta in generating
new work outside conventional theatre spaces. Finally the
collection also looks at how smaller theatres like Sarasvati, La
Troupe du Jour, and the Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company give
women, francophones, and aboriginals their own dramatic voice.
