Neal Thanks for kind offer. Does 'Whos Who' list just pure theatrical people, or does it cover people in other performing arts? For example I am interested in magicians/illusionists, circus entertainers and professional singers !!! An eclectic mix !

Hi Sue, It definitely mentions authors, so it goes beyond the extent of just actors for certain. How far beyond, I couldn't say. Pam's already mailed you to tell you about the Circus, Theatre and Music Hall site. There's quite a bit of information on there, as well as links to other places on the web that might contain useful stuff. By all means, let me have any names you want me to look up.
