Hi everybody, THEATRE-UK now has 133 subscribers. I think now would be a good time to let everyone know what information you are seeking, or what your field of expertise is. Don't be shy - I've seen some very interesting and informative messages posted to the list. We are very fortunate in having such a wealth of knowledge available within our 'Troupe' and I would like to thank those who have provided answers and pointers to the various queries.
