Merrigong Theatre Company is thrilled to welcome National Theatre of Parramatta’s Choir Boy, a poignant coming-of-age story by the Academy Award® winning writer of Moonlight, Tarell Alvin McCraney to Wollongong Town Hall from 22nd – 25th March.
Choir Boy is a Tony Award®-winning play - threaded throughout with soul-stirring a cappella gospel hymns. It is a moving story of sexuality, race, gospel music, and a young queer man finding his voice. The play premiered in 2012 at London’s Royal Court Theatre, before seasons across the USA and a successful Broadway production.
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?
