www.MormonBoyExperience.com Final Palm Springs "Storytelling Tuesdays" CONFESSIONS on Jan 28 before going back down under for the Midsumma Festival in Melbourne, Australia at Chapel Off Chapel.

Only twelve tickets left for the FINAL performance of the new Confessions of a Mormon Boy in residence for "Storytelling Tuesdays" at Hotel Zoso Palm Springs www.MormonBoyExperience.com. Show at 7:30pm. Doors at 5:30pm for the delicious Mormon Boy dinner and drink menu. NO MINIMUM. Chicago Sun-Times: What a rare and skillful thing is Confessions of a Mormon Boy, Steven Fales’ engrossing, funny, and often quite harrowing tale. Fales’ tumble from grace and his road to redempti...on peg him as the male counterpart of the fallen woman . . . think Joan Crawford or Bette Davis playing outcasts at their most glamorously vulnerable. He’s a male Mildred Pierce, except that it’s real life. With crackerjack direction by Broadway veteran Jack Hofsiss, Fales delivers the dramatic goods with considerable economy, crisp pacing and, in the end, a simple gesture of self-revelation that’s as effective a coup de theatre as you’ll find in a dozen shows jam-packed with special effects. Best of all, we don’t see Fales’ ultimate moment of catharsis coming; it hits us between the eyes like a shot with a two-by-four. Fales is such a good mimic, capable of vivid and hilarious impersonations. Fales has lived a stunningly eventful, almost Dickensian life, and he is, by happy coincidence, a fine writer and actor. Let him make the most of it. See more

www.MormonBoyExperience.com Today I get to do Parts 1 and 2 of Mormon Boy Trilogy in The Club at Hotel Zoso Palm Springs: a staged reading with lights and sound of MISSIONARY POSITION at 3:00pm and then the new CONFESSIONS OF MORMON BOY at 7:30pm. I will be doing a staged reading of PRODIGAL DAD later in the spring. And I have added an epilogue monologue to these three solo plays in repertory called THE DREAM that binds the trilogy together in a very satisfying and fantastica...l way. I had to put the entire trilogy away for a good year . . . for personal and professional reasons. And now it's back and my heart is so happy. Here is what the Washington Post said about a workshop I did of MORMON BOY TRILOGY in 2014 at Richmond Triangle Players: An eye for absurdity can take you a long way: The work of the engaging solo performer Steven Fales is a case in point. A keen sense of the ridiculousdisplayed in telling narrative details, some droll characterizations and a wealth of verbal zingersleavens his powerful Mormon Boy. A rare artistic commodity: a stand-up-comedy-infused autobiographical epic containing chapter after chapter of absorbing spiritual and personal crisis, sly cultural commentary and humor.
