We spoke with Moira Mangiameli, Director of "Boy" at Snap Productions at the Ghost Light Theatre, and Actor Jey Nelson, who plays Samantha and Adam as the lead role in Boy, which is opening February 2nd.

Moiria and Jey talk to us about this complex play written by Anna Zeigler. The play is based on a true story of a person who was born male and due to a tragic accident during his circumcision, was raised female. The well-intentioned plan came from the doctor, who believed gender was based on how a person is nurtured, rather than on purely nature. As the main character grows up, unaware of all of the facts about their past, they battle emotionally with their feelings about themselves and try to reconcile with the information they have been told.

Performance dates for “Boy” are February 2nd through the 4th, 9th through the 12th, (the 12th is a Monday performance for the convenience of people in the industry), and 16th through the 18th.

Snap! is holding valuable talkbacks after the February 2nd and 9th performances.

The ASL performance will be February 9th.
