WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Who's Your Daddy? Steven Fales (Confessions of a Mormon Boy)searches for his Greek great-grandfather who was long ago deported, lost and forgotten. But when a conjuring goes array, Fales finds himself in a leather bar confronted by the shared demons of an unexpected nemesis. In a race against time, this Greco-Mormon wrestles with ghosts from his family's sordid past while searching for meaning and redemption in a world where gods vie for the affections of men, mormon magic can wipe out entire generations and dads are seemingly no longer required. Will Fales find the father's blessing he craves?

RE:Who's Your Daddy
This play was seen on 11/28/10 in the Abingdon Theater Arts Complex Chelsea NYC: This is now the third time I have seen ex-Mormon, Steven Fales, perform and I am still not sold on his ability to write or perform his own works. I was lucky enough to get to hear a first reading of this production ? so this was a very rough draft! Fales strength lays in his first person experiences with being a husband, son & father. His true to life stories about his family, coming?out, divorce, child custody issues and medical complications are simply put, amazing. BUT he has a tendency to write dream sequences into his plays where he has conversations seeking, and getting, approvals/ validations from imaginary or long past friends & family members, which he never obtained during the course of his lifetime. The play ran long and after 2 hours the remaining unread pages were summarized thus ending the play. It?s obvious that Fales still has a lot of editing to do, to bring the play back to a reasonable time frame. It will be interesting to see what the final product, he actually brings to the stage, will look like but, as written, I don?t think that I would be willing to sit through this mess again.
