Visit the GBS Blog at gbs.shawsociety.org. NEW: Shaw’s BBC
broadcasts are now available in CD format.
Just click on
this line for more information. NEW: The ORION SHAW
PROJECT, available at http://shaw.yorku.ca/,
is a Canadian venture that invites teachers to use the materials found on
this site in the teaching of Shaw. It
focuses each year on the two plays being produced at the Shaw Festival in
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, but is archiving teaching materials from past
years, which ultimately should result in a searchable database of not only
Shaw’s plays but in which you can find everything you always wanted to know
about Shaw and weren’t afraid to ask.
Part of this website is currently not available to anyone who is not
hooked into the Canadian system, but eventually the entire world will be able
to use it. We count the days! PROJECT
SHAW IN NEW YORK: The third Monday evening of every month (usually),
David Staller produces a concert reading of one or more of Shaw’s plays, at
the Players Theatre in Gramercy Park.
Highly recommended. Go to www.projectshaw.com
for additional information and to purchase tickets. You may also write to the Gingold
Theatrical Group; 520 Eighth Avenue #312, NY, NY 10018 or call 212-355-7823
or email dstaller@gingoldgroup.com. ISS MEETINGS / SHAW SESSIONS &
