Next Fall

By Geoffrey Nauffts

Directed by Dennis Yadon

The Tony Award-nominated play Next Fall takes a witty and deeply moving look at faith, commitment, and unconditional love. While the play’s central story focuses on the five-year relationship between Adam and Luke with sharp humor and unflinching honesty, it goes beyond a typical love story. When an accident changes everything, Adam must turn to Luke’s family and friends for support and answers. This timely and compelling new American play asks questions about commitment, love, and faith, and forces audiences to examine what it means to “believe” in something beyond this life and what it might cost us not to.
