Westerville North High School graduate Steven Boyer is starring on Broadway as religious teen Jason, whose foul-mouthed hand puppet, Tyrone, takes on a devilish life of its own in Robert Askins’ Hand to God.
Boyer has been with the play since its first reading more than four years ago. He made his Broadway debut in I’m Not Rappaport, and starred off-Broadway in Modern Terrorism, The Explorers’ Club and King Lear. His film and TV credits include stints in The Wolf of Wall Street and Orange Is the New Black.
Boyer is quoted in Broadway.com, saying, “High school was a chance to reinvent myself. I decided early on I wasn’t going to conform to any of the groups in high school. I was going to be friends with everyone in every group. I wanted to be Ferris Bueller.”
