At Western Edge Theatre April 17 - 26, 2026!

Moving, surprising, and often unexpectedly funny, Boy Player is the true story of what happened when Frank Moher was orphaned as a kid, and suddenly found himself transplanted from Edmonton, Alberta to New York City. It’s also about how finding your passion, or passions — in Frank’s case, theatre, and a young woman named Diana who had been through similar experiences as a child — can change and maybe save your life.

Filled with great musical theatre songs and sometimes deeply emotional, Boy Player will touch your heart, and lift it, too.
