CHOIR!

By Anika Johnson & Barbara Johnston

CHOIR! is a musical comedy about a year in the life of a children’s choir in the early 2000’s.  
 
The Tiers de Picardie Children’s Chorus has its sights set on the bright lights of the Choral Conductors of Canada Conference in Sudbury - but first, its choristers must weather the ups and downs of choir camp, billeting, fundraising, middle-school politics and raging hormones. 
 
This semi-autobiographical show is a love-letter to the millennial youth-choir experience, reminding us how important it is to keep singing together.

Production History

CHOIR! was originally commissioned by the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts (Toronto) for their Pre-College Program.

It was also produced at the Toronto Fringe Festival, produced by Edge of the Sky (2023) and Yes Theatre (Sudbury, ON) in May 2025.
