BOY FALLS FROM THE SKY
Written by and starring Jake Epstein
Developed with and directed by Robert McQueen
A Talk Is Free Theatre production
“ . A ROUSING SHOWBIZ TELL-ALL!” – The Toronto Star
Jake Epstein’s been “that guy from Degrassi”, starred in the US National Tours of Spring Awakening and American Idiot, played Spider-Man on Broadway, and starred in the original production Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Not bad for a kid from Toronto who dreamed about performing on Broadway ever since he was a child. But the thing about dreams is, they don’t always go as planned. Through a series of entertaining and soul-baring stories and songs, Epstein shares the rejection, stage fright, and heartbreak behind a seemingly successful career in this showbiz tell-all. Boy Falls From The Sky is a must-see for anyone who’s ever chased their dreams.
“5 stars! Soars to great heights! Moving. Heartfelt. Ingenious. Brave, truthful, and triumphant performance.” – Now Magazine
“Abso-frigging’-lutely note-perfect! A knockout piece of writing. A winner.” – Intermission Magazine
“Joyous, moving, and funny!” – The Slotkin Letter
The Segal Centre for Performing Arts will start the first half of the season with Tony and Grammy- winning musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, a co-production with the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, which brings the songbook of the incomparable singer-songwriter to life from October 15 to November 5. It is followed from November 19 to December 10 by a presentation of a Talk Is Free Theatre production of Boy Falls From The Sky, an insider's unflinching true story of what it takes to make it on Broadway starring Degrassi's Jake Epstein, who, coincidentally, originated the role of Carole King's husband in Beautiful.
The Segal Centre for Performing Arts launched their 2023-2024 Theatre season earlier today with a celebratory toast in their Lobby surrounded by Montreal theatre lovers.
