Naked Angels Extends NEXT FALL Through 8/8

Due to the continued demand for tickets, Naked Angels (Geoffrey Nauffts, Artistic Director; Brittany O'Neill, Managing Director) has announced another extension of Geoffrey Nauffts' play, Next Fall, directed by Sheryl Kaller. Next Fall, which was expected to close on July 11, will continue for another 30 performances at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater (416 West 42nd Street), through August 8th.

The play began preview performances on Tuesday, May 26th and opened to unanimous critical praise on Wednesday, June 3rd. All performances through July 11th have sold out. Tickets for performances beginning Sunday, July 12th are now on sale.

Barbara Manocherian, one of the play's producers, stated, "Due to the extraordinary demand for tickets, we have made some special last-minute arrangements to once again extend the play's world premiere engagement Off-Broadway. The response to Next Fall has simply been overwhelming."

The cast includes (in alphabetical order) Patrick Breen, Maddie Corman, Sean Dugan, Patrick Heusinger, Connie Ray, and Cotter Smith. Winner of the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation's 2008 Theatre Visions Fund award, Next Fall is a Naked Angels production presented by Ms. Manocherian with Jeff Davis and Anthony Barrile.

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' Artistic Director Geoffrey Nauffts, Next Fall chronicles the five-year relationship of Adam and Luke 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 Monday- Saturday at 7:30pm, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2:00pm. Some exceptions apply. Tickets are priced at $50 and are on sale now online at www.ticketcentral.com or by calling 212-279-4200.
