A son of the Virgin Islands who has been steadily carving out his place in international theatre is now taking another major step forward, as Sheldon Frett joins a high-profile stage production in Los Angeles.

Frett, a native of Tortola, has joined the cast of “Master Harold”…and the Boys, currently being staged at the Geffen Playhouse from April 8 to May 10, 2026. The production is co-directed by Tony Award–nominated director Emily Mann and Academy Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney.

Frett appears as understudy for the role of Willie, bringing years of training and performance experience to the production. His inclusion reflects a career that has been steadily gaining momentum across both theatre and screen.

A graduate of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Frett has appeared in classical productions such as Pericles, Henry VI, and Titus Andronicus. His screen work includes Get On Up, where he performed alongside Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman, as well as roles in the television series Hitmen and Shots Fired.

Despite his growing international profile, Frett says he remains committed to representing the Virgin Islands.

“Being part of this production under the direction of Tarell Alvin McCraney is an incredible opportunity to grow as an artist. I am also proud to continue highlighting the British Virgin Islands on an international stage, showing the world the talent and stories that come from our home.”

The production, written by acclaimed playwright Athol Fugard, explores themes of race, power, and friendship in apartheid-era South Africa.

Frett’s latest achievement reflects not only his personal dedication to the craft, but also the continued rise of Virgin Islands talent on the global stage.
