		Noah Reid: The Country Sessions September 20 and 21
The series kicks-off in September with beloved actor and musician Noah Reid returning to Crow’s for two nights with *The* *Country Sessions* and his signature soulful approach to a curated list of classic country covers in this sophisticated reimagining of the genre’s most iconic works. Best known for his CSA winning turn as Patrick in the Emmy award winning Schitt’s Creek, Reid most recently starred in Amazon/Plan B’s Outer Range and on Broadway in Tracy Letts’ The Minutes. As a musician, Reid has released three full length albums of original songs, Adjustments, Gemini and Songs From A Broken Chair, and completed his Everything’s Fine world tour, with sold out shows across Canada, the US, the UK, Europe and Australia; and curated our sold out Cover to Cover music series this summer.

Next up in September, friends and collaborators, Broadway star Sara Farb (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and acclaimed composer-lyricist Britta Johnson (Life, After) take the stage in *Very Serious Women.* Playfully defying its title, this concert celebrates the rich, female-centric canon of musical theatre, blending timeless classics with fresh, contemporary pieces performed by two of Canada’s leading musical talents.

All performances run approximately 75 minutes.

“The vision for Streetcar Crowsnest has always been to create a space that’s as much a thriving community hub as it is a theatre,” says Paolo Santalucia, Associate Artistic Director of Crow’s Theatre. “Inspired by similar spaces in major theatres across the world, we’re thrilled to be curating a diverse range of programming that fosters both artistic excellence and genuine community engagement. CROW’S CABARET is an invitation for audiences to experience our theatre in new and unexpected ways, hopefully deepening their connection to the cultural pulse of the city.”
