I've attended two more plays, a session (with free pizza) about the Playwrights Guild of Canada, and a dinner meeting about my play "Dancing Backwards" since my last entry about the Spring Festival. And, of course, I've also been teaching. So it's been a busy but wonderful time. Tomorrow morning we start rehearsing/workshopping my play. That's all for now.

I just added two more photos from the opening night of "Send Me No Flowers" to my website: http://donaldbcampbell.tripod.com.

I've attended the first two nights of the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre's Spring Festival of New Plays, which has been very enjoyable. On Monday night there was a lively and often humorous "round table" (without the table) discussion of the role of actors in play development workshops. Last night there was a staged reading of "Angels Are Us" by Byrna Barclay, which was very good. I plan to attend the remaining staged readings this week. See my website (http://donaldbcampbell.tripod.com) for details about them.

Tonight I have a dinner meeting with the director (Rob Moffat from Calgary) and dramaturge/dramaturg (Ben Henderson from Edmonton) for my play "Dancing Backwards", which will be workshopped and rehearsed on Friday and Saturday, culminating in a staged reading on Saturday at 1:00 in the Drama Dept. (John Mitchell Building near the front entrance to the Agriculture Bldg.) at the U. of S.

(Donald B.) Campbell & Company will do a full production of it, along with my short play "Fishing Buddies", at the Saskatoon Fringe at the beginning of August. See my website for more details.

We've managed to avoid the snow that's been hitting various places in Saskatchewan and Alberta. It really must be spring!

Our last performance of "Send Me No Flowers" also went very well. Now it's time to focus on the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre's Spring Festival of New Plays. See my website (http://donaldbcampbell.tripod.com) for details.
