TORONTO (April 11, 2023) – Today, Artistic Director Chris Abraham and Executive Director Sherrie Johnson unveiled Crow’s Theatre’s 12-show 40th anniversary season, the largest and most ambitious season in the company’s history. Following the record-breaking triumph of the 2022.23 season, Crow’s 40th anniversary will be animated by world premieres and groundbreaking productions featuring the country’s greatest artists, Canadian premieres of celebrated international hits, and tours of Crow’s Theatre’s most successful shows! 

We gathered at full capacity, and we moved through each show with joy, despair, and laughter—and we did so together with the amazing Crow’s audiences who came out in record numbers, our heroic staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make it happen, and the brave and courageous artists and partners who filled our stages with smart, spunky, daring, and assured productions.

“Feeling extremely galvanized and energized, we want our 40th anniversary to be exceptional. This season, we want to give a shout-out to all who made Crow’s what it is today—40 years on. We look forward to welcoming you to Streetcar Crowsnest and to our fabulous restaurant, Gare de l’Est, as you take in a season filled with entertainment and enlightenment, reflection, and shared humanity. If you have any young people in your life, please encourage them to join our UNDER 30 ticket program. The next 40 years depends on the voices of the next generation of arts lovers as they imagine and build their future world.”

“This season is a journey to the centre of empires—old, new, and just being born. It is a report from behind enemy lines, a diary of our secret joys, and an exposé of our public heartbreak. It is a ride in a bumpy jeep past a bombed-out cathedral; a ringside seat at a backyard battle for the soul of America; a mother’s voice on a tape recorder; a meeting with a group of strangers who have mysteriously lost everyone they’ve ever loved and have no idea why. It is a heated and hilarious debate about self-driving cars and the future of cities as we know them. It is a group of boys on the reserve making themselves laugh just hard enough to forget what they don’t want to remember. It is a passport to our own country. It is a wild party with music and old friends that reminds us of the unfathomable mystery of love and its capacity to wake us up to what’s in front of us—because there is giant beautiful ball of fire hurtling towards us in the night sky that will probably destroy us all by morning.

“Across an astonishing series of dramas, true-life stories, fantasies, comedies, two operas, and a musical, our 40th anniversary season is a testimonial to our incredible resilience and capacity to change and adapt even in the most extreme situations.”

The 2023.24 Crow’s Theatre 40th anniversary season begins with multi-award-winning playwright Michael Healey’s THE MASTER PLAN, adapted from The Globe and Mail journalist Josh O’Kane’s best-selling book Sideways: The City Google Couldn’t Buy, directed by Crow’s Theatre Artistic Director Chris Abraham.
