NEXT FALL at Morningside Players Theater Co.

Next Fall by Geoffrey Nauffts, Feb. 1 to Feb. 18, 2024. NEXT FALL takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love. While the play’s central story focuses on the five-year relationship between Adam and Luke, NEXT FALL goes beyond a typical love story. This timely and compelling new American play forces us all to examine what it means to “believe” and what it might cost us not to. “The funniest heartbreaker in town! The play embodies something theatergoers have been sorely missing, perhaps without knowing it, for years. A smart, sensitive, immensely appealing and utterly contemporary New York comedy.” —The New York Times.

Direction is by Jim Fredericks, set by Noel Brooks, lighting by Emmett Cleaver, sound by Luke Hofmaier and costumes by Chloe Niemann. Top cast features Michael De Filippis, Kate Forristall, Mark Hofmaier, Toni Kwadzogah, Justin Quackenbush, Tomas Roldan.

“. The best new American play of the Broadway season, NEXT FALL leaves you thinking about rapture and rupture. If you go, which you should, be prepared to laugh some, perhaps to cry some, and then to rise in appreciation.” —Time Out New York.

“Compassionate, laugh-filled and enormously entertaining. Geoffrey Nauffts invests the play with a generosity that doesn’t prejudge, embracing both the virtues and foibles of his characters. And that inclusion makes NEXT FALL an even richer experience.” —Associated Press.

“A daring new drama.” —Entertainment Weekly.

“Deeply moving and surprisingly funny. Geoffrey Nauffts reveals a talent for sharp comic dialogue. He draws all his characters with surprising depth.” —The Hollywood Reporter.
