WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

An inspiring true story told through humor, song, and the Book of Mormon, Steven Fales' critically acclaimed solo play Confessions of a Mormon Boy 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.

There are Monday Night Talk-Backs immediately following the performance.
