Subject: Theatre in Higher Education
Purveyors and supporters of the arts in higher education, we urgently
need to hear from you. As many of you are aware, the State of California
has been hit hard by the current recession. Budget cuts in the
University of California system have reached crisis proportions. In
light of these budget cuts, the University of California, Berkeley
administration is now deciding the fate of its Department of Dramatic
Art. The members of the Department have enthusiastically supported a
task force report suggesting the restructuring of our Department as a
Center for Theatre Arts, a plan we believe will allow us to maintain
excellence in the face of adversity. Acceptance of this proposal is not
assured; there is the very real possibility that Berkeley's Academic
Planning Board may elect to eliminate the Department altogether. In
addition to meaning our extinction, such a move would provide an ominous
precedent for Theatre in higher education. We urge you to make your
voices heard. Please send letters and/or e-mail messages expressing your
support for Theatre in higher education to the three members of
Berkeley's Academic Planning Board listed below. Time is of the essence.
Review will occur next week. Thanks very much to all.

Those going on to the Plays and other events in York following the
International Medieval Congress at Leeds may like to know of the
Medieval Events Weekend, 8-10 July 1994, organised by Rachel Semlyen
and Associates in conjunction with the Friends of York Festival,
York Visitor and Conference Bureau and the International medieval
Congress. Participants have various choices of private guided
visits to places of historic interest (including Barley Hall, the
restored 15th-century town house of Alderman William Snawsell, Lord
Mayor in 1468), a guided walk through the less well-known old areas
of York, and a concert and early instrument exhibition in the Early
Music Festival. Finally, seats at the Mystery Plays can be booked
as part of the weekend package. This is a varied and exciting
series of events, many of which are not otherwise available to the
public, put together in especially for those with medieval
interests.
Parties are catered for, as are special dietary and other needs.
Registration continues until 1 June for visitors from abroad, so
BE QUICK!!

Subject: Thanks for your support of the USENET groups...
This is just a brief note to thank everyone who participated
in the vote to create the USENET groups rec.arts.theatre.misc,
rec.arts.theatre.plays, rec.arts.theatre.musicals, and rec.
arts.theatre.stagecraft. The groups were officially established
on Monday, May 9 and are all showing a pretty good amount of
traffic. You are, of course, welcome to participate.
For those of you who missed it, here are the one line
description of each of the newsgroups:
rec.arts.theatre.misc Misc. topics and issues in theatre
rec.arts.theatre.musicals Musical theatre around the world
rec.arts.theatre.plays Dramaturgy and discussion of plays
rec.arts.theatre.stagecraft Issues in stagecraft and production
Keep in mind that, at present, none of these groups are gatewayed
to mailing lists. In order to access and participate in these
groups you will need access to some kind of news server and
news reading software, which can probably be obtained from your
local system administrator. While I would imagine that it is
possible to have the groups gatewayed, I have to admit that
I haven't any idea how one would go about establishing such
a link.
Thanks again for your support!
Mark
