In Their Own Words - Canada's Theatre Pioneers

The B&W video playlists were to be part of a documentary, however, this was not to be. These video segments provide insights into theatre, radio and television in Canada from 1940 to 1970. 

There is also a playlist of the 35 raw interviews that were taped between 1992 and 1995. I hope that theatre historians may find them a way to connect with these theatre pioneers.

Interviews were done by J.D. Gravenor and John Richardson. They were taped in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria.

The biographies for the  interviewees were composed by Dr. Denis Johnston.

A book containing quotes from these interviews along with archival photographs will be available in 2021/22.
