Citadel Theatre

We should be touring our art.

We should be touring productions from Stratford to the Calgary Citadel Theatre, to Edmonton Citadel and the Calgary Theatre, and to Quebec.

We've got such brilliant artists here, Robert Lepage out in Quebec who does the most inventive work that has launched his work and the knowledge of Quebec onto a world stage, to New York, to Europe.

Anyways, where are we?

He, he, he-- Although I am planning to take him to the Rocky Mountains to see this fantastic, even though it is only for about 12 hours.

But so essentially what's happening that week is Tim is working with the students from MacEwan, a- and then he's actually going to be doing a talk for the university at the BFA program, and then he's gonna be doing, uh, a little bit of a workshop at, at, um, the Citadel Theatre.

And then he is gonna be doing a book signing at Audrey's Books on Friday at 4:30.

Great bookstore, the best bookstore.

Odds are, nestled next to a copy of the hockey sweater or a thick stack of Pierre Burton standards, you'll find an edition of the Canadian Encyclopedia.

Back in 1985, the first edition of the encyclopedia was launched on this day at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, Alberta.

The collection has become the guide to Canada, a window into the lives of Canadians and the communities we call home.

I spoke with James H. Marsh, the editor-in-chief of the encyclopedia.
