Playwright’s group formed

NORTH VANCOUVER playwright Peter Raabe is looking to form a new playwrights’ discussion group open to professionals, serious amateurs or students.

“Writing plays is a solitary oc- cupation,”” said Raabe, whose re- cent work is the 1988 Fringe Festi- val production Taking Care of Business. ‘But that doesn’t mean playwrights have to spend their lives locked away in their rooms.”

With meetings tentatively slated for once or twice a month, the

group wil! discuss techniques, trends and survival tactics, among other topics.

To become part of this fledgling group, call Raabe at 986-9446.
