By: Walter McBride Jun. 04, 2009
New York's Naked Angels (Geoffrey Nauffts, Artistic Director; Brittany O'Neill, Managing Director) presents the World Premiere production of Geoffrey Nauffts' new play Next Fall (formerly titled The Gospel According To Adam), directed by Sheryl Kaller. The cast features Patrick Breen, Maddie Corman, Sean Dugan, Patrick Heusinger, Connie Ray, and Cotter Smith.
Winner of the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation's 2008 TheatreVisions Fund award, Next Fall began performances on May 26 th at The Peter JaySharp Theatre at Playwrights Horizons (416 West 42 nd Street), with Opening Night celebrated on Wednesday, June 3rd.
In this witty and provocative urban romance, a Christian gives an Atheist the Heimlich,and dislodges more than they bargained for. Written by Naked Angels' artisticdirector Geoffrey Nauffts, Next Fall chronicles the five-year relationship of Adam andLuke as they grapple with their respective demons. Timely and compelling, the play places the current Prop 8 controversy in a human context by examining what it means to "believe" in this day and age, and what it might cost us not to.
The creative team for Next Fall includes Wilson Chin (Scenic Design), Jessica Wegener(Costume Design), Jeff Croiter (Lighting Design), and Bart Fasbender (Sound Design).
Performances are Wednesday - Saturday at 7:30pm, Saturday and Sunday at 2:00pm, andSundays at 7:00pm. Some exceptions apply. Tickets are priced at $40 and are on salenow online at www.ticketcentral.com or by calling 212-279-4200
