Confessions of a Mormon Boy Opens Off-Bway, Feb. '06
By: BWW News Desk Nov. 17, 2005
"An inspiring true story told through humor, song and the Book of Mormon, Fales' critically acclaimed solo play explores one young man's captivating journey through excommunication, divorce, prostitution and drugs, as he struggles to reclaim himself, his children and his 'Donny Osmond' smile," state press notes.
Prior to its current Off-Broadway incarnation, Confessions of a Mormon Boy started as a stand-up comedy routine in Manhattan. The full play first premiered to sold-out crowds in Salt Lake City in 2001.
The show has enjoyed successful developmental runs across the country, including San Francisco's New Conservatory Theatre, Miami's Coconut Grove Playhouse, Chicago's Bailiwick Repertory Theatre, San Diego's Diversionary Theatre (where it broke box office records) and the Connecticut Repertory Theatre. The production received an Overall Excellence Award at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival.
The production features set and lighting design by Tim Saternow (Squonk) and costume design by Ellis Tillman (Urban Cowboy). The running time is 90 minutes with no intermission.
Confessions of a Mormon Boy will play Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. There is an added performance on Wednesday, February 1 at 2 p.m., and there is no matinee performance on Sunday, February 5.
Tickets for Friday and Saturday evening performances are $55 each. Tickets for all other performances are $50 each.
