Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew and Billy Talent’s Ben Kowalewicz To Star in Play Together

Crow’s Theatre announced the lineup for its 35th anniversary season, and one play is sure to standout to Canadian music fans. A&R Angels was written by Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew, who will star alongside Billy Talent frontman Ben Kowalewicz when it hits the stage in November.

The Chris Abraham-directed play tells the story of two angels on a mission to write one last hit song. More via, official release:

A&R Angels is a rock-fable by Kevin Drew, co-founder and de facto bandleader of Canada’s baroque-pop collective Broken Social Scene (BSS). A now prolific music creator in Canada and internationally – Drew’s artistic career was seeded at an adolescent theatre maker and as a budding actor at the Etobicoke School of the Arts along with a number of future members of BSS.

Kevin Drew has written the book and songs of A&R Angels and is also co-starring in the premiere with a talented ensemble, including punk rock band Billy Talent’s energetic and multi-talented front man Ben Kowalewicz.

Straddling our world and the afterlife, two angels have – for decades – pulled folks from the brink of death with their music. But times have changed. The past lives that they’ve been tasked to save…have ended, well…badly. The A&R Angels have only one shot left before being eternally benched by the higher-ups – can they write that killer song that will give life to the living?

In addition to A&R Angels, Streetcar Crowsnest (Crow’s Theatre) also announced it will send Stars’ Torquil Campbell on the road with the critically acclaimed show True Crime, which enjoyed a limited run earlier this year. Kristen Thomson’s Dora-award nominated The Wedding Party will also return in 2018.
