Choir Boy

Marin Theatre Company
397 Miller Ave. Mill Valley

Tarell Alvin McCraney's acclaimed play tracks the coming-of-age of a group of talented young African-American prep-school singers whose gospel-singing prowess is woven throughout the story. Pharus, the undisputed tenor superstar of the choir, is struggling to be accepted as a leader while facing varying degrees of discrimination from classmates for his homosexuality. McCraney (The Brother/Sister Plays, In the Red & Brown Water) has been called "without question, the hottest young playwright in America" (Chicago Tribune). After moving audiences with its stirring spirituals in New York and L.A., Choir Boy now prepares to raise the roof at the Marin Theatre Company in Mill Valley.
