For folks in Atlanta, the Counter Narrative Project in partnership with Morehouse College Safe Space and the Alliance Theatre is hosting a staged reading of the play "Choir Boy" by Tarell Alvin McCraney.

The play grapples with black masculinity, identity, sexuality, freedom, music, and the consequences of not conforming.

In the words of the playwright: "Choir Boy' is a play about an all-male prep school, Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys. It chronicles the senior year of a kid named Pharus Young who is lead of the choir, which is sort of the calling card for the school. The inspiration was dealing with a young man who may not fit into what we think of as the model of young black men and the trials of that year." -Tarell Alvin McCraney
