I just finished the Walterdale book - For Love, Not Money by Wayne Arthurson. I was not sure how it was going to be, but I really enjoyed it. It did wish there was a little more recent history in proportion to the early years, but it was written well and the early stories were captivating. Wayne did a nice job with the 3 threads woven into the book. There is one that is primarily chronological (but which doesn't quite reach the present in any depth...); there is one that follows the production Sinbad from auditions to close (which focuses intensely on a small set of the present Walterdale members); and there is one that deals with emerging themes (and that occasionally touches on more recent history). It makes me hope for a sequel in 10-15 years with perhaps some stories from people actively engaged in Walterdale now. Perhaps we should have some controversies during my term so that a good tale from it can be included!
I am also listed 3 times in the book (as director, playwright and dramaturge) and I appear in one photo from Black Hearts in the Green Room. Crimes of the Heart also has a nice picture included. There are some people who are in far more photos than others. It is kind of like a high school year book that way.
