Fascinating Ladies of Country

Young at Heart Theatre presents: Fascinating Ladies of Country at Harbourfront Theatre in Summerside on April 12 at 2 pm.

This engaging musical revue celebrates the iconic women of country music, honouring the artists whose songs and stories helped shape both the genre and the broader movement toward women’s empowerment in music and beyond.

This show is a celebration of the artists who put feminism and women’s liberation at the forefront, and made significant contributions to gender equality through music and activism. This new musical revue will feature songs from familiar artists like Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynne and Tammy Wynette, Emmylou Harris, The Chicks, Brandi Carlile, KD Lang, Anne Murray, Shania Twain and more.

Fascinating Ladies of Country is written, compiled and directed by Catherine O’Brien, with musical arrangements and musical direction by Brielle Ansems, and features Island artists Olivia Blacquere, Stephanie Ross and Haley Zavo.

The Harbourfront performance will be offered as Pay What You Will, this model supports barrier-free entry to the arts as well as offering patrons to take a chance on a performance they may not be familiar with and may not have gone to see otherwise. At the end of the show, patrons are invited to decide how much they would like to contribute.
