Choir Boy

Choir Boy is a moving coming-of-age story of sexuality, race, hope, and a young gay man finding his voice, playing at Cremorne Theatre, QPAC from March 15-18.

Directors Dino Dimitriadis (Overflow, Cleansed) and Zindzi Okenyo (seven methods of killing kylie jenner, Orange Thrower) lead a sensational Australian and International team, presenting Academy Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney’s (Moonlight) delicate, brutal script.

Determined to make his mark, Pharus Young is hell-bent on being the best choir leader in the 50 year history of Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys. In a world built on dusty rites and rituals, how can he maintain his shine while trying to conform to masculine expectations and gain the respect of the choristers he leads?

With Music Direction by Allen René Louis (Broadway Inspirational Voices), the language of high school hallways is blended with the soulful sounds of gospel for an unforgettable night at the theatre.

“History and secret histories, the things that free us and the things that tie us to the past are all examined in this exhilarating, multi-layered new play.” The Guardian

“Tarell Alvin McCraney's coming-of-age drama CHOIR BOY sings out spiritual nourishment.” Broadway World
