Abstract
When stage director John Hirsch took over as head of CBC television drama in December 1973, the department was in search of a direction in which to go. Since that time, Hirsch has shown that he knows the plays and the groups making up most of current Canadian theatre, and more importantly, he has brought some of them to television, most for the first time. He has shown an openness to both the obscure and the obvious. Nevertheless, the future is bleak, for Hirsch is facing big budget cuts. For instance, commercial breaks that had been eliminated in 1975 in the Performance series will have to come back in 1976. Hirsch has also been told won’t stop us from getting a glimp se from time to time of groups such as Vancouver’s Tamahnous.
