Hi all. Dunno who still reads this thing, if at all.

Some of you may know this, some may not. Here it is:
-------------------------------------------------------
To the graduating class:

I am thrilled to be able to inform you that we have just managed to secure the rights for Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann's Urinetown: The Musical. This 1999 play was first seen at the New York International Fringe Festival and was then produced both off and on Broadway. Recently, the Toronto production of this musical was nominated for 10 Dora Awards, the most of any show this year, and you can imagine that we couldn't believe our luck when the rights for the play were suddenly made available.

As you all know, the final production of DalTheatre’s 2005/6 season was supposed to be Hair, directed by Patrick Christopher. Because of Patrick's early retirement from the Department, we had to make the necessary changes to our selection of plays and forego the usual consultative process with the graduating-year students. I hope that you won’t have any objections to learn in this manner that we decided to replace Hair with Urinetown. I'm also very pleased to tell you that Dr. David Overton has agreed to direct the DalTheatre's production of this exciting play.

I wish you all a wonderful summer and a successful final year of your degree.

Jure Gantar, Chair
