Although we have already received many excellent submissions, I thought that the September 1 deadline left too little time after summer vacation for some people to complete papers. Some of you told me that the time frame was too compressed. Please send your articles to me at comediaperformancesubmissions at gmail.com. Best wishes for the coming semester, Barbara Mujica, Editor -- B. Mujica Professor of Spanish Emerita Georgetown University Washington D.C. 20057-1039 Editor, *Comedia Performance* mujica at georgetown.edu www.barbaramujica.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
