"Fales is at his best in MISSIONARY POSITION. It's better than CONFESSIONS OF A MORMON BOY. He's quicksilver as ever. An important piece of theatre that all should see as he continues to shed light on Mormon fundamentalism. When I watched him do the Mormon temple ceremony in the temle garb, I didn't know whether to laugh or weep. It was so stunning it took my breath away."
--Leslie Jordan, Emmy Award Winner (Sordid Lives, Will & Grace, My Trip Down the Pink Carpet)

"From the moment the play begins, we see an attractive, boyish, energetic man who makes no bones about expressing the conflict he felt as his homosexuality cam into direct conflict with his desire to serve God. By keeping his narrative focussed on his own experiences, Fales allows us to cringe at the Mormon Church's idiosynchratic rules and dogma. Fales mixes humor with the heartfelt struggle he endures, adding show tunes and sexualized fantasies to dramatic effect. That you grow to care for him and go along with him on this journey is essential to the success of this one-person show. In the wake of the Mormon Church's involvement in California's Proposition 8 fiasco, the timing for this show couldn't be better."
BACK STAGE (The Actor's Resource) www.backstage.com
"Fales is an infectious storyteller. His training for the stage pays off as he turns Mormon hymns into "Everything's Coming Up Roses" one-man production numbers and charms his audience with a devilish smile and enough skin to titilate."
LA CITY BEAT at www.lacitybeat.com
"Fascinating and controversial as Fales models his supposedly secretive Mormon temple garments."
STAGE SCENE LA at www.stagescenela.com
"A showcase for the multitalented Fales . . . his ingratiating presence and natural charisma holds the audience's interest. Imaginative direction. It's a pleasure to spend ninety minutes we Steven Fales, a man now truly on a mission."
