Choir Boy..the play

We saw this play this afternoon, really well done and timely. A short summary is here and a longer article here.
In the play Choir Boy by Tarell Alvin McCraney, set in a Southern prep school for young African-American men, its protagonist, Pharus Young, is something of an outlier.
At an age when many students are just trying to blend in, get by, and get out unscathed, Young is unabashedly intellectual and ambitious, and preternaturally self-assured. And he’s attained the much-sought-after position of head of the school choir, a beloved, venerable institution.
He’s also gay, which, in a conservative place like the Charles R. Drew Prep School, can be problematic.
