Steven Fales

“A masterful story-teller and one hell of a writer!” --San Francisco Examiner “A fine writer and actor.” --Chicago Sun-Times “An artist whose work displays great moral courage and daring.” --Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way Steven Fales is an award-winning actor/writer/producer who first came to national attention with his critically acclaimed one-man play Confessions of a Mormon Boy. Having rubbed shoulders with professionals and protestors, prophets and prostitutes, the multi-talented Fales is a self-described “Oxy-Mormon” who shares his humorous, compassionate, and clear-eyed perspective of the world through his writing and performing. A classically trained actor, Steven began writing when his perfect Mormon world fell apart . A sixth-generation Mormon, he trained at the Boston Conservatory before serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Portugal. He then transferred to Brigham Young University finishing his BFA in musical theater. He holds an MFA in acting from the University of Connecticut. He has studied at the American Comedy Institute in New York and with renowned master acting teacher Larry Moss. Fales calls his work transformational theatre: true stories honestly told by the person who lived them woven throughout with elements of recovery. In addition to acting in plays, musicals, television and film, Steven specializes in creating his own solo work: one-person plays, cabarets, and stand-up. Splitting his time between New York City and Salt Lake City , Fales takes an active role in raising his two children.
