The Gladstone Mayor and City council established and appointed a five member Advisory Board in 2004 to oversee this community based organization. Founders Van and Susie Ibsen participated as non-voting members until 2014 when they decided to retire from the Gladstone Theatre in the Park program.  Even though they are not active members, they still support GTIP by being a sponsor and providing rehearsal space.

Current Board Members:
