Choir Boy at Ephrata Performing Arts Center

At the prestigious Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys, tradition is everything, and the award-winning gospel choir is its crown jewel. Pharus Jonathan Young, a talented and driven student, knows he has what it takes to lead it. But in a school that prizes discipline, conformity, and a narrow definition of masculinity, standing out can come at a cost. As Pharus navigates friendship, rivalry, and the pressures placed upon him by both his peers and the institution, he must decide what it truly means to be a leader, and whether he can succeed without compromising who he is. Filled with electrifying gospel music and deeply human storytelling, Choir Boy is a moving coming-of-age story about identity, resilience, and the courage to live authentically.
