The third installment of Western Edge's 2025-2026 Mainstage Season. The founder of Western Edge, brings his own personal story to our increible season.

Moving, surprising, and often unexpectedly funny, Boy Player is the true sotry of what happened when Frank Moher was orphaned as a kid, and suddenly found himself transplanted from Edmonton, Alberta, to New York City.
