Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

The 2019 International Theatresports Festival begins today, 15 October 2019 and runs until Sunday the 20^th. Joining me now is Jeff Gladstone, the co-artistic director of the festival that will take place at various venues on Granville Island. I’ll ask Mr. Gladstone about improv, about his work teaching, and this festival that has something for everyone. There are methods of improvisation that are not usually done in this part of the world, approaches from different places in the world like New Zealand, the Netherlands, America, Australia, and even Calgary. I ask Jeff about Gorilla Theatre, which was created by Keith Johnstone in Calgary, where Jeff grew up. Visit www.vtsl.com for tickets and information. Jeff Gladstone is an actor, teacher, and musician, who joined the Vancouver Theatre Sports League in 2000. He was a 2019 Leo Award nominee for his performance in the film Kingsway. Visit www.jeffgladstone.ca for more. He joined me en route to Canmore, Alberta last week. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Jeff Gladstone; Mr. Gladstone, good morning.
