The Choir

Overview

The team at Switchboard Arts present their latest play, The Choir. This performance focuses on a state choir competition in which a group of orphanage boys take part. The seven choirboys are aged between 12-16 but are in fact played by adult actors.

After facing various up's and down's throughout the lead up to the competition, the young boys discover that not everyone is worthy of their trust. Themes of friendship and betrayal tie this story together and humour provides a charming undercurrent to the play. In addition, the fantastic musical pieces colour the drama and it's no wonder why Errol Bray's, The Choir, has received international acclaim. The Washington Post has described it as 'touching', London's Stage has stated that it 'packs a punch' and our own The Australian believes The Choir is 'beautifully shocking and funny'.

Catch this special performance by Switchboard Arts at The Powerhouse from Tuesday to Saturday.
