Fales is the creator of the off-Broadway hit, Confessions of a Mormon Boy which has played nationally and internationally including Boston and Provincetown. He has been featured on Tyra Banks, Logo, and Hollywood Extra!
An Oxy-Mormon, Fales confesses “I’m 100% Mormon White Trash! God has seen me through excommunication, divorce, prostitution and drugs, now we’re working on narcissism—and it’s not going well!”
Mormon American Princess is an exploration of our self-absorbed society using the multi-talented Fales as a microcosm. But with the help of his new Higher Power (She’s fabulous!), he’s beginning to see the light as he continues to put Utah on the MAP!
This hilarious and touching cabaret confection includes original songs like “The Excommunication Polka”, “Narcissus”, “Cult Rap”, and “You and Utah.” And such standards as “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Fifty Percent”, “Son of a Preacher Man” and outrageous medleys and parodies of your favorite Broadway show tunes including Steven’s popular “Mormon Broadway Medley” and his signature “Mormon American Princess.”
The cabaret act has received critical acclaim at Upright Cabaret in Los Angeles and Joe’s Pub in New York as well as engagements in San Diego, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City and will play the Metropolitan Room in New York this fall.
Steven Fales’ acclaimed one-man play Confessions of a Mormon Boy has played major cities across the country and internationally. A break-out hit at the New York Fringe Festival (Overall Excellence Award for Solo Show) and directed by Tony Award-winner Jack Hofsiss, the play went on to a highly acclaimed Off-Broadway run at the SoHo Playhouse (Outer Critics Circle Award Nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance). The play was performed as a sold-out benefit for The Point Foundation at Lincoln Center and was nominated for the Oscar Wilde Award for Outstanding New Writing for the Theatre at the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival. Fales’ book Confessions of a Mormon Boy (Alyson Books) was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist.
A classically trained actor with numerous regional stage credits from around the country, Fales received his M.F.A. in acting from the University of Connecticut. He trained on Scholarship to the Boston Conservatory and received his B.F.A. from Brigham Young University. An excommunicated Mormon, he currently lives in New York City where he flies his kids in from Salt Lake City via jetBlue every chance he can get!
“Fales possesses a beautiful lyric tenor, perfectly suited to his very theatrical delivery. The musical numbers matched his narrative with great dramatic effect . . . a confident self-realized cabaret performer.” – Cabaret Scenes Magazine
“Stevens voice commands and dominates . . . . flawless and engaging. His stage presence and delivery transcend the self-centered pleadings . . . the humor in his compositions is clever and incisive.” – San Francisco Bay Times
“Steven Fales is a dream come true for gay rights advocates: provocative in his work, articulate and humorous onstage, and appealingly handsome in person. MAP is a crowning moment.” – EDGE.com
“Showtime, Broadway, and HBO all rolled up into one great big evening of song and laughter. MAP is exuberant and supremely entertaining.” – BeyondChron.org
“It’s quite an achievement to showcase an ego that is larger than Carol Channing’s in such a small room.” – Goldstar Audience Review – Four Stars!
