Review: CHOIR BOY at Actor's Express
by Joseph Harrison - Aug 11, 2026

Finding the courage to be yourself is rarely easy. Finding that courage in a place where tradition, expectation, and conformity are woven into the fabric of daily life can feel nearly impossible. That tension sits at the heart of CHOIR BOY, now on stage at Actor's Express. Tarell Alvin McCraney's powerful coming-of-age drama explores what it means to live authentically when doing so comes at a cost. Along the way, it examines friendship, faith, family, masculinity, and identity through characters who feel remarkably real. The result is a production that is both deeply specific in its portrayal of the Black male experience and universally relatable for anyone who has ever felt like they did not quite fit the traditional mold.
