    • This study would not exist without the unstinting guidance of Professor Emeritus Juliana Saxton and Associate Professor Carole Miller of the University of Victoria. Their faith in me and my work, both academic and artistic, has been a gift priced above rubies. Thank you.

    Thanks also to Dr. Roy Graham, Dr. Giles Hogya, Dr. Gordana Lazarevich, and Dr. Belarie Zatzman for opening themselves to the worlds of audience, performance and research poetry.

    I am very grateful to the Department of Theatre, University of Victoria for allowing me to teach a course based on this research (2005–2006). “THEA 394: Audience Process and the Victoria Theatre Season” was a valuable journey of discovery and reflection shared with a wonderful group of students. My thanks to all of them and to Dr. Warwick Dobson and Professor Brian Richmond for their support.

    This research project was generously supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Victoria.

    Finally, I thank my family for sustaining me throughout this project. I love you guys.
