Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:
This is the Planta: On the Line program here at THECOMMENTARY.CA.
Last year, for the first time, I went to a Bard on the Beach production. The lilt of Shakespeare's words, along with the enthusiasm and aptitude of the performers, as well as the North Shore mountains, made for a remarkable evening, one that's highly recommended. Bard on the Beach is already open, running through to the 24th of September.
Making a return appearance, I am joined this morning by Christopher Gaze, the artistic director of Bard on the Beach. The playbill this season includes: A Midsummer Night's Dream, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale, Troilus and Cressida, as well as other fun and interesting events worth checking out throughout the summer. Ticket prices range from $17.00 to $29.50, and those as well as more information can be had at their website, www.bardonthebeach,org, or by calling 604-739-0559 (toll free 877-739-0599).
When I spoke to him just over a year ago, he said if I ever went to a Bard production, I'd be hooked. By golly he was right. Please welcome once again to the Planta: On the Line program, Christopher Gaze; Good morning, Mr. Gaze.
