The Effect 2024

It’s fun to say that romantic love is a matter of chemistry - fun, that is, as long as “chemistry” is metaphorical shorthand for the qualities and quirks that, when brought together, ignite emotions that feel like alchemy. But what if personal chemistry is not figurative, but literal: a combination of controlled substances and their effects that can be created in a laboratory as easily as on a date?

Words seem like such an ordinary way to express such an extraordinary experience like CHOIR BOY by Shotgun Players. With a powerful story, soulful music, and purposeful choreography, CHOIR BOY captivates from start to finish. This mesmerizing show grapples with tough topics, not only on the surface but in deep, meaningful ways. It will hold you, and shake you, and leave you vibrating with the energy that comes from the power of truth.

A mother’s crushing struggle for sanity while grappling with economic and social realities that seem stacked against her and and her youngest daughter’s science project growing marigolds from seeds that have been exposed to radiation, or “gamma rays' collide in an inevitable collusion of the mother's delusions and the daughter's reality. The daughter's resilience allows her to thrive even with a toxic home life, in a way similar to the marigolds in her science experiment, which survive radiation exposure and produce beautiful flowers.
