Open Auditions for Wilmington Drama League's 2018 production of Oscar-winner Tarell Alvin McCraney’s “CHOIR BOY.” Show runs February 16th to 18th. Directed by Mikal K. Odom.
Set at an elite prep school for African-American youth, “CHOIR BOY” centers around five members of the school’s celebrated choir. The choir’s gifted, and effeminate, new leader, Pharus, is ready to take on the new school year with ambitious ideas. However, his fellow choir members have differing views on both him and his ideas. Will Pharus conform to expectations or stay true to himself and gain the respect he deserves?
