Next Fall at The Weekend Theater

Geoffrey Nauffts' Next Fall, a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love, is about two gay men in a committed relationship with a twist: one is devoutly religious and the other is a militant atheist; and it’s driving their crazy friends crazy! The play revolves around their five-year relationship and how they make it work despite their differences. Luke, a hard-core Christian from Florida, believes that Adam, the man he loves, is going to hell. Not for having sex with men, mind you (that’s just sinning and can be forgiven on Judgment Day), but for not believing in Jesus. With sharp humor and unflinching honesty, Next Fall is an intellectual stealth bomb. When an accident changes everything, Adam must turn to Luke’s family and friends for support and answers which lead to confrontations they have all been putting off for years. It creates the freedom to deal with their shared crisis with all the awkwardness, evasion and denial that allow people to live with themselves, even if such things poison them inside. 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. Directed by Ralph Hyman.
