it all started back in 2001 with the world premiere of steven heard fales' confessions of a mormon boy in salt lake city, utah. groundbreaking on many levels, this critically acclaimed, award-winning autobiographical solo play has since played off broadway, across the country, and around the world. more than mormon, mormon boy has become a celebrated one-man phenomenon that has grown into a truth-telling movement . . .
steven heard fales is a classically trained actor who first started writing when his perfect mormon world fell apart. he was the first gay mormon/bisexual dad and formally excommunicated LDS male to ever tell his story in any kind of mainstage/mainstream way. sharing his universal oxy-mormon stories is part of an ongoing mission to educate, inspire, and entertain diverse audiences from every corner of the globe. "it's a human thing . . ."
this new mormon boy experience website is currently under construction and will continue to be updated in preparation for mormonboy 2.0 launching in 2022. this homepage overview gives a glimpse of further content to come. meanwhile, thank you for visiting. and please stay safe during the pandemic. "keep smiling . . ."
