Choir Boy (Presented by Shotgun Players)

  • The Ashby Stage 1901 Ashby Avenue Berkeley, CA, 94703 United States (map)

A teenage Black boy in a pink spotlight with short curly hair looking forward smugly. Behind him, 4 other teenage Black men in identical school uniform suit coats have their heads tilted up to the sky.

Nominated for four Tony-Awards including Best Play, and winner of two including best vocal arrangements, 'Choir Boy' is a coming-of-age story with compelling music, traditional African American spirituals set to step choreography.
This is not a coming-out story. It's a story about the power of self-love.

“In his stirring and stylishly told drama, Tarell Alvin McCraney cannily explores race and sexuality and the graces and gravity of history.” - NY Daily News
