I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.

Pablo Picasso

There's no doubt that theatre — whether a West End London musical, a performance of Hamlet at Stratford, or a one-act comedy performed by a plucky group of amateurs in a small-town auditorium — can be transformative.

On today's show I sit down with actor and director Lynn van Deursen, who has blessed the tiny mountain village of Kaslo with many outstanding theatrical moments over the years. We talk about her effort to put together a community theatre group, the recent plays staged at Kaslo's venerable Langham Theatre, and chat about Lynn's take on theatre generally, and Kaslo community theatre in particular.

If you like your entertainment live and in person, you don't have to be a Kaslo resident to enjoy our conversation!

Move over, Portlandia. Here comes A Beginner's Guide to Kaslovia, featuring the ridiculously gifted (underscore ridiculously) — and extremely funny —  Lucas Myers.

That's right, Myers is back, ready to poke good-natured fun at the quirks and characters that make Kaslo, shall we say, unique!

After a considerable hiatus, he returns to Kaslo's venerable Langham Theatre for three-day run —  Friday October 18 through Sunday, October 20th — with a one-man show that anyone who frequents, let alone lives in, Kaslo won't want to miss.

Radio Free Kaslo host Randy Morse talks with Myers about the upcoming show, and much more on this highly entertaining 30-minute podcast.

Radio Free Kaslo, June 7, 2024

Today's show is all Kaslo, all the time!

There's lots going on in our fair alpine village these days. Tonight it's a screening of two videos showcasing the long-defunct Kaslo Players and their performances (over 30 years ago) of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, and a farcical melodrama titled The Face on the Barroom Floor. Followed by some live improv, courtesy of Kaslo's improv troupe.

On Saturday (June 8), there are several events worth taking in.

The Kaslo Saturday Market launches for the summer season at the park next to the Kaslo Hotel. Open from 9 AM to 1 PM, look for all sorts of vendors — from fresh produce and croissants, to sausages and soap — and much, much more!

At 10 AM, celebrate Kaslo Pride 2024 with a celebration at Legacy Park. Then swing by the Angry Hen craft brewery to take in the Guns & Broes drag show (a family-friendly version Saturday afternoon, followed by an adult version in the evening).

Also Saturday, the Langham celebrates its 50th anniversary with a street festival, featuring live music, street performers,  a food truck, face painting, short films in the theatre, gallery exhibitions, crafts, treats, and more.

Ah, but there's more to our hometown than culture — anyone who's been here knows how spectacular our physical setting is. One of the most convenient intros to our wild backyard is the Kaslo River trail system. Host Randy Morse takes you on a tour of this outdoor gem!
