Realizing that his chances to adopt are slim, he challenges Rosemary to confront her prejudices in this play about acceptance, forgiveness, and moving on. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
| 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. | |||||
