About Choir Boy at Riverside Theatres
Audiences and critics love Choir Boy - Must Close 11 March
★★★★★ “Choir Boy delivers in every single way.” – Time Out Sydney
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?
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. Music Direction by Allen René Louis (Broadway Inspirational Voices) blends the language of high school hallways with the soulful sounds of gospel for an unforgettable night at the theatre.
Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta presents the Australian Premiere of this gripping story at Riverside Theatres in association with Sydney WorldPride.
