Abstract
A Shakespeare Pageant was written by Sister Mary Agnes, who was born Mary Ives in a well-to-do Boston family in 1861, and died in 1939. Sister M. Agnes, as she was known, taught English from 1909 to 1928 at St Mary’s Academy (founded in 1874), an all-girls private Catholic high school in Winnipeg. The work, subtitled “A Dialogue for Commencement Day” and first published by St. Mary’s Academy in 1915, was located as part of the “Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare” research project funded by the Premier’s Research Excellence Awards (PREA) in Ontario. The project’s purpose is to recuperate the vast archive of “Canadian” theatrical practices associated with adaptations of Shakespeare. A significant unwritten history exists with regard to how Canadian society used theatre in a multitude of contexts. Here I refer to theatre in its broadest contexts, beyond mainstream, urban and high culture – including theatre produced and performed by marginalized communities, workers’ theatre, theatre performed in high schools and community centres and private homes, to list only a few. The “Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare” project intends, through identification and study of the archive, to come to some clearer understanding of the myriad ways in which adaptations of Shakespeare address ideas of Canadian nationhood as it was reflected in various theatrical practices at different stages in Canadian history. To the long-troubled (and troubling) question of how to identify what it means to “be Canadian,” such an archive posits all sorts of theoretical and practical solutions that emerge from the very diversity of writing and performance practices associated with this particular archive. Adaptation here is a useful marker of the extent to which divergence from an iconic cultural referent and performance practice (like Shakespeare and Shakespearean theatre) also signals new cultural formations and thus new subjectivities as mediated (and produced) by the adaptive process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
