Choir Boy
National Theatre of Parramatta presents
Choir Boy

29 Mar 2023 to 2 Apr 2023

Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta (NTofP) is delighted to present the Australian premiere of Choir Boyby the Academy Award-winning writer of Moonlight, Tarell Alvin McCraney.

Playing at Parramatta’s Riverside Theatres in association with Sydney WorldPride from 14th February – 11th March, the show will then embark on a national tour across Brisbane, Canberra and Wollongong. 

Choir Boy is a Tony Award-nominated 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. 

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?
