REED at ATHE, 1993 & '94 REED was well represented at the annual convention of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education in Philadelphia, July, 1993. Neil Novelli, (LeMoyne College) chaired "Paint Your Pageant Wagon! The Scholarship of the University of Toronto's Festivals of Early Drama." On this panel, Alexandra Johnston briefly and lucidly placed REED scholarship and production in historical conext, and Michael Barbour and Susan Barbour described their production of "The Apple Tree." I am hoping we will have more panels on medieval drama for the 1994 ATHE Convention, in Chicago, July 27-30.I am considering a paper on my recent production of the York "Crucifixion" at a 200- member Presbyterian Church last Good Friday. We made no pretense to historical re-creation; the value of the production for me was in experiencing production and performance of the play with non-academic, mostly working-class, actors, technicians and audience. Anyone who may be interested in presenting or forming a panel for ATHE '94, please reply to me.
