NEXT FALL Stirs Interest In Attending Broadway Shows

Next Fall has been featured in the Associated Press. The article is titled "An interest in faith sparks Broadway's 'Next Fall'." The piece is written by Michael Kuchwara and begins:

"Next Fall" is a story of collisions - of beliefs and nonbeliefs, and of a taxi accident that leaves one of the characters in a coma and another questioning his faith or lack of it.

The drama has stirred considerable interest on Broadway and not just because of the favorable reviews. It's a new American play with no stars. And it is written by a soft-spoken, 49-year-old playwright whose marquee value is outshone by two of its many producers, Elton John and his partner David Furnish. In the star-struck arena that Broadway has become for plays, how "Next Fall" fares over the coming weeks will be closely watched.

Not that author Geoffrey Nauffts doesn't have theater, film and television experience. As an actor, he's worked extensively in New York and Los Angeles. And he's currently artistic director of Naked Angels, a small, celebrity-flecked New York theater company specializing in the development of new work and where "Next Fall" was midwived.

The new American play is written by Geoffrey Nauffts and directed by Sheryl Kaller. Preview performances began Tuesday, February 16, 2010.

NEXT FALL stars Patrick Breen as Adam, Maddie Corman as Holly, Sean Dugan as Brandon, Patrick Heusinger as Luke, Connie Ray as Arlene and Cotter Smith as Butch.

NEXT FALL had its world premiere in a Naked Angels production, opening to critical acclaim on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. NEXT FALL played a sold-out run off-Broadway, extending three times, and played through August 8th.

Geoffrey Nauffts' NEXT FALL takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love. While the play's central story focuses on the 5-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.
