Steven Fales

Artist Description

After excommunication, divorce, prostitution, and drugs, a sixth-generation Utah Mormon reclaims his kids and Donny Osmond smile. [Confessions of a Mormon Boy is] an inspiring true story told with humor, song, and The Book of Mormon.

Steven Fales could have been the poster-child for Mormondom: Eagle Scout, international missionary, BYU graduate, husband to the daughter of a famous Mormon author, father of a beautiful boy and girl. In his autobiographical one-man play, Steven Fales tells the captivating story of his failed attempt to overcome his same-sex attraction through reparative therapy which resulted in his divorce and excommunication from the Mormon Church. After his perfect Mormon world fell apart, Steven took his pain and confusion to New York City where he quickly descended into the gay underworld of escorting and drugs. Both touching and funny, Mormon Boy a 90-minute reclamation saga of a Latter-day Saint prodigal son that ends in a moment of self-revelation that hits us between the eyes like a shot with a two-by-four.
