Résumé
From 1955 to 1979, English Canadian theatre developed institutions that became part of the support-mechanism for the regular production of Canadian plays. Their development was interrelated with the evolution of the policies of the Canada Council, conceived to foster the establishment and expansion of professional Canadian theatre. Canadian Actors' Equity Association, the Canadian Theatre Centre, the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres, and institutions for the training of theatre were all established as this cultural industry expanded. Through the period, the industry developed sufficient political strength, that in 1978 it was able to successfully advocate, with the larger cultural community, that government support for culture should be maintained even during times of financial restraint. In the 21st century, all but one of the studied institutions continues as part of a robust industry. The study finds, however, that despite this growth the training for the industry's administrators has not matched its overall development.
