Title: Choir boy
Description: Those melodies, the pitch harmonies and Rhythms, those are the maps and guides to the Promised Land. Not on this earth but elsewhere...Determined to make his mark like those before him, Pharus is hell-bent on being the best choir leader in the school's fifty-year history. First he must gain the respect of his peers, but he's an outsider in a world steeped in rites and rituals, a community that demands he conform. Tarell Alvin McCraney's piercing new play set in an all boys, all black American prep school scores a gospel refrain of the politics of minority and masculinity.
