Noah Reid

Full casting has been announced for Steppenwolf’s production of The Minutes, the new American play by Tracy Letts, which reopens at Studio 54 on Broadway on 19 March 2022.

Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek) will join original Broadway company members Ian Barford (August: Osage County), Blair Brown (Copenhagen), Cliff Chamberlain (Homeland), K. Todd Freeman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest), Tracy Letts (Lady Bird), Danny McCarthy (To Kill a Mockingbird), Jessie Mueller (Waitress, Beautiful), Sally Murphy (August: Osage County), Austin Pendleton (Choir Boy),and Jeff Still (To Kill a Mockingbird, Oslo).

Joining a company of American stage legends, actor Noah Reid comes to The Minutes fresh off the heels of playing Patrick Brewer in the beloved television show Schitt’s Creek. This play marks his Broadway debut.

The Minutes takes a hard look at the inner workings of a city council meeting and the hypocrisy, greed and ambition that bubble to the surface when a newcomer to the small town of Big Cherry starts to ask the wrong questions. Why is someone on the council mysteriously missing? What happened to all those bicycles? Is there skullduggery afoot with the city’s finances? What’s the deal with the available parking space? What the F is going on with the Lincoln Smackdown? And why are the minutes from the last meeting being kept secret?

Part “Parks & Recreation,” part “Twilight Zone,” this powerful, resonant, and funny portrayal of democracy in action proves that everything you know can change—it’s just a matter of minutes. After all, the smallest towns keep the biggest secrets.

The production is directed by Anna D. Shapiro, with set design by David Zinn, costumes by Ana Kuzmanic, lighting by Brian MacDevitt, and sound and original music by André Pluess.
