Something Like a Drug: An Unauthorized Oral History of Theatresports
by Clem Martini, Kathleen Foreman
Category: Improvisation (Acting)

Something Like a Drug chronicles the growth of one of the most significant theatrical movements to come out of Canada in the last half century - theatresports. A "drug," a "buzz," a "kick," "instantaneous storytelling," "gladiatorial improvisation" - theatresports has been described as these and more. In the words of those who participated in the growth of this curious sports and improvisational theatre hybrid, Something Like Drug looks at how theatresports first sprang to life and how over the period of a decade, it has grown into a sprawling international league spanning four continents and encompassing many thousands of improvisors.
