Second Gay Singles Night to Follow Confessions of a Mormon Boy on April 13

Following the success of the first "Gay Singles Night," Confessions of a Mormon Boy, the hit solo play written and performed by Steven Fales and directed by Tony Award-winner Jack Hofsiss (The Elephant Man), will host a second "Gay Singles Night." It will take place on Thursday, April 13 at 8pm with a post-show cocktail reception where gay singles will have the opportunity to mix and mingle with other gay singles as well as Fales.

Confessions of a Mormon Boy opened on February 5th after giving its first preview performance on January 27th off-Broadway at the Soho Playhouse (15 Vandam St.); it is playing an open run. "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 and after playing successful developmental runs across the country, received an Overall Excellence Award at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival.

Fales has appeared opposite Eden Espinosa in the musical Blood and Fire at the York Theatre, The Tempest at Judith Shakespeare Festival, and his stand up act, Oxy Mormon at Caroline's on Broadway, Stand Up New York and Don't Tell Mama. His regional theatre credits include Utah Shakespeare Festival, Connecticut Repertory, Robert Redford's Sundance Theatre, Stages St. Louis and others. His TV credits include the CBS mini series "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town," "Touched by an Angel" and "Miracles and Other Wonders."

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.

The "Gay Singles Night" package is $50 and will include that evening's performance, complimentary cocktail at a post-performance reception at the theatre, door prizes, and "the chance to meet that special someone."

The show performs Mondays at 7pm (with Monday night talkbacks immediately following the performance), Wednesdays through Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 and 7 p.m. For ticket information, call the Soho Playhouse box office at 212-691-1555 or visit online at www.sohoplayhouse.com or www.mormonboy.com.
