SUMMARY:CHOIR BOY at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:Pharus Young is now a senior at the Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys\, an institution committed to building “strong\, ethical black men\,” where he endeavors to be the best leader of the school’s prestigious choir in its 50-year history. But in a world built on rites and rituals\, should he conform to the expectations of his peers in order to gain the respect he desperately seeks? \nWritten by Oscar-winning ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight)\, this Tony-nominated play—threaded throughout with soul-stirring a cappella gospel hymns—is the story of a young gay black man and his battle between identity and community. Choir Boy is an elegy to quiet rebellion\, filled with the sound of longing and aspiration. It is a love song in pianissimo to the unseen heart that beats inside us all. \nhttps://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets–events/seasons/2021-22/choir-boy/

SUMMARY:Life After
DESCRIPTION:“Musical theater perfection…exquisite from start to finish” (BroadwayWorld). \nFrank Carter famously authored self-help books. But Alice\, his 16-year-old daughter\, finds cold comfort in his positivity platitudes when he tragically never comes home one night. As she puzzles out the events of the day that changed her family forever\, Alice’s relentless search for the facts reveals a more complicated truth. With big humor and bittersweet wit\, this “luminous new musical…lush\, poetic and surprisingly funny” (The San Diego Union-Tribune) explores how we move through and live with loss. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/season/2122-Season/Life-After/Life-After-Accessibility/
