Brett Kissell and Paul Lorentz in the StageQ production "Next Fall."
They say opposites attract. This is certainly true for Luke, a devout Christian, and Adam, a staunch atheist. After five years together, their relationship has grown, despite these differences. But their worlds collide when Luke is in a car accident and Adam has to share the hospital waiting room with his partner’s god-fearing, homophobic parents. A StageQ production.
1/24-2/8, Bartell Theatre, at 7:30 pm Thursdays-Saturdays (2 pm on 2/8), plus 2 pm, 2/2. $20.

Next Fall takes a witty and provocative 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 offers a picture of modern romance, asking questions about commitment, love, and faith, and forces audiences to examine what it means to “believe” and what it might cost us not to.
Adults: $20; Seniors/Students: $15; Groups (10+): $15.
