PORTLAND — Good Theater will present the recent Broadway success “Next Fall” on Jan. 25-Feb. 19 at St. Lawrence Arts Center.

The play by Geoffrey Nauffts opened off-Broadway in the spring of 2009. Rave reviews resulted in three extensions to the limited engagement. Subsequently, the show transferred to the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway, opening March 11, 2010.

The show received two 2010 Tony Award nominations for Best Play and Best Director.

“Next Fall” was also nominated for two Drama Desk awards, including Best Play as well as the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play. It won the Outer Critics’ John Gassner Award for playwriting.

The story revolves around Luke, who believes in God, and Adam, who believes in everything else. “Next Fall” portrays the ups and downs of this unlikely couple’s five-year relationship with sharp humor and unflinching honesty. And when an accident changes everything, Adam must turn to Luke’s family and friends for support and answers.

The play paints a beautiful and funny portrait of modern romance, asking the hard questions about commitment, love and faith.

“Next Fall” will be presented  at 7 p.m. Wednesday ($15), 7 p.m. Thursday ($20), 7:30 p.m. Friday ($20), 7:30 p.m. Saturday ($25), and 2 p.m. Sunday ($25) with an additional matinee at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 ($20).
