Confessions of a Mormon Boy
"An exceptional achievement to rank beside the best of the solo genre: wrenchingly honest, hilariously jubilant, utterly clear-eyed."--LA Times, Critics' Choice
"GO! Riveting. A roller coaster ride."--LA Weekly
"Steven Fales is easily among the best, if not the best, solo performers in the business."--David Clarke, BroadwayWorld.com

The Possibility Foundation and MB Productions presents the Los Angeles return of Steven Fales' award-winning one-man sensation "Confessions of a Mormon Boy" playing Sunday nights at 7PM thru April 26 at the Zephyr Theatre. 90 minutes without intermission. Valet Parking for Zephyr at Antonio's Restaurant next door.

"Confessions of a Mormon Boy" has played off Broadway, across the country and internationally including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and London's West End. This critically acclaimed solo play is Fales' hilarious,  harrowing and inspiring true story of extremes from perfect Mormon boy to perfect rent boy and how Fales found a middle ground reclaiming his kids and "Donny Osmond" smile. Based on original direction by Tony Award Winner Jack Hofsiss ("The Elephant Man"). www.mormonboyonline.com

Judith Light: "Steven's one-man show is a combination of an incredibly emotional and heart-wrenching story, a powerfully written and nuanced script, and a knock-it-out-of-the-ballpark performance. Confronting the 'demons' within, and seemingly around him, and ending up such an inspiring example of true self-respect and authenticity left me deeply touched and equally inspired."  Judith Light, Two-time Tony Award-winning Actress and Activist

Leslie Jordan: "'Mormon Boy' has the most theatrical moment I have ever seen on stage. It made me gasp! Being a gay recovering Southern Baptist, Steven Fales's tale of his journey to self-acceptance made me want to jump up in the theatre and holler "Amen"!  I have seen 'Mormon Boy' several times and have brought friends who were considering doing one-person shows to show them an example of how multilayered a solo piece like his can be.  Mr. Fales is a master at his craft. His work is timely and of utmost importance in these days of religious-based intolerance."  Leslie Jordan, My Walk Down the Pink Carpet, Emmy-winner for Will & Grace

Bruce Vilanch: It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful -- the best gay coming-of-age, grappling-with-being piece I've seen since Dan Butler's, and you know there have been a thousand of them ever since his. It's really good. This needs to be filmed." Bruce Vilanch, Comedy Legend

John Duran: "Steven Fales has captured the essence of the gay soul. The show had to be extended at the Coast Theatre in West Hollywood and was used as a fundraising vehicle for charity for Equality California. Mormon Boy made me wince with emotional pain of my own coming out, and then laugh joyously at the absurdity of the anxiety I felt." John Duran, Mayor of West Hollywood

Lucie Arnaz: "When one can be so moved as to laugh till your jaw hurts, wince with a sorry recognition at the pain distorted religion can inflict, cheer with unashamed abandon at an enviable and inspiring bravery so rarely expressed in the face of certain banishment and ridicule, you know you have had a thrilling and emotionally fulfilling theatrical experience. Bravo, Steven Fales and his 'Mormon Boy'!"  Lucie Arnaz, Actress/Activist
