A Singer Must Die
October 13-14, 2022
harbourfront centre theatre, toronto
These concerts were a reprise of our 2018 Leonard Cohen tribute. While the initial presentations featured fifteen authors over three nights, this revival featured six writers over two nights - Marni Jackson, Adrienne Clarkson, Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall, David MacFarlane, Christopher Dewdney and Barbara Gowdy. Tamara Lindeman of The Weather Station replaced Sarah Harmer, who was involved in the original shows.
