Word from the Editor

Abstract

In our business, there are often hard acts to follow. As new editor for Theatre Research in Canada / Recherches théâtrales au Canada, I certainly have the most humbling of roles following in the footsteps of a long line of first-class editors, not least of which is my immediate predecessor, Bruce Barton, who, in addition to continuing the excellence of TRIC content for the past four years, oversaw the complete re-visioning of the look of the journal.All of us in this field who depend on TRIC owe Bruce our deepest appreciation and gratitude for the work he has accomplished. Fortunately for all of us Bruce is not leaving the journal, but will be assuming the tasks of Executive Editor to keep everything running smoothly and to ensure the continued excellence of the journal. My role is also made possible only through the seemingly inexhaustible contributions of the office assistants, this year Birgit Schreyer Duarte and Barry Freeman. Without their superior skills and formidable dedication, the journal could not see the light of day. Also keeping this show on the road is house translator, Sonya Malaborza, French-language associate editor, Louise Ladouceur, and the managing editor, Stephen Johnson, who as chair of the management board gives the journal the security of consistent and transparent governance.
