4th Wall Theatre will hold OPEN AUDITIONS for the leading role of LUKE in Geoffrey Nauffts’ NEXT FALL. An actor has had to leave the cast suddenly due to a film project. The play was a 2010 Tony Award and Drama Desk Nominee. The show will be presented at The Westminster Arts Center in Bloomfield, NJ, where the company is in residence, as well as the Irvington Town Hall Theatre in Irvington, New York. Non-union, no pay.
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 five-year relationship between Adam, a confirmed atheist, and LUKE, a devout Christian, it goes beyond the typical love story. Following a serious accident, Adam must reassess his views and seek support from Luke’s family and friends. Next Fall is a timely and compelling new American play that forces us all to examine what it means to "believe" and what it might cost us not to.
SEEKING: One man for the role of LUKE. Non-traditional casting will be strongly considered.
