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?
Riverside Theatres has announced the cast of National Theatre of Parramatta’s Australian premiere season of Choir Boy, by the Academy Award® winning writer of Moonlight, Tarell Alvin-McCraney. The production will premiere at Riverside Theatres Parramatta in association with Sydney WorldPride 2023 from 14th February 2023, before seasons in Brisbane, Canberra and Wollongong.
