From Oscar-winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney comes “Choir Boy”—a powerful coming-of-age story filled with heart, hope and soul-stirring gospel music. At an elite all-boys prep school, Pharus is a bright, talented student determined to lead the school’s renowned choir. But being young, gifted and gay in a world that demands conformity isn't easy. As he faces pressure, prejudice and painful choices, Pharus refuses to be silenced. With moving performances and an unforgettable finale, directed by UNCSA faculty member Cliff Odle, “Choir Boy” is a celebration of identity, resilience and the power of music to lift us all.
