About this event
Father. Son. Holy Megachurch! After 20 years of church involvement, Hillsong heretic Scott Parker has stories to tell. Pull up a pew and join him for a queer holy communion!

Hillsong has fallen. Brian Houston dethroned. His dynasty disgraced.

Hillsong Boy chronicles the weird and wonderful experiences of ex-Hillsonger, Scott Parker. During his twenty years with the megachurch he experienced the dizzying heights of Christian celebrity, and the lonely lows of being cast aside, all whilst keeping a desperate secret. Scott is queer, and there’s no such thing as a Queer Hillsong Boy.

Original music, autobiography, multimedia, and a leap of faith all collide in this playful revelation of coming out and getting out of one of the most talked about church movements of the 21st Century.

A Hillsong boy through and through, Scott has stories to tell, so pull up a pew and join us for a queer holy communion!

Reviews

4 STARS - “This show felt like a release... Scott Parker's story is moving and enthralling, and Hillsong Boy is a testament to his strength and bravery as a person and as an artist.” DANIEL CONWAY, THE FOURTH WALL

“The bravery, openness, [and] vulnerability of this work make it an honor to witness... This is not a work to dwell on details of acting, or directing. The former is professional, neat, precise. The latter is seamless, pushing the story in front, adding volume, and not disturbing what unfolds.” ANNA SOKOLOVA, THEATRE INS AND OUTS

5 STARS - “Scott Parker is a very articulate performer and showcases a strong voice and is excellent on the guitar. His creative team, director Felicity Nicol, sound designer Kathryn Parker and lighting designer Ben Brockman, back him up totally.” DAVID KARY, SYDNEY ARTS GUIDE
