Each produces work grounded in Korea\u2019s ancient ceramic traditions, but takes it in new and often surprising directions.

Next Fall received massive critical acclaim in New York, both off and on-Broadway, and garnered Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards Best Play nominations. The New York Times called it an \u201cartful, thoughtful and very moving story\u201d\u009d and \u201can intellectual stealth bomb.\u201d\u009d \r\n\r\nBrief description of the play:\r\n\r\nGay couple, Adam and Luke, are constantly at odds over their religious beliefs. Adam doesn't understand how Luke, a devout Christian closeted to his family, can pray to the same God that is supposed to condemn him. At the same time, Luke agonizes that his atheist partner will go to hell. When Luke lands in a coma after a life-threatening accident, everything comes to a head in the hospital waiting room when family and friends meet for the first time. Spanning five years of their relationship, Next Fall is a thoughtful moral examination, that moves deftly between serving up the laughs and exploring ideas to ponder long after the curtain comes down.\r\n\r\nThe box office is open 11am-6pm Monday-Saturday, and we gladly make ticket reservations over the phone. \r\n\r\n734.663.0681 \u2013 Box Office", "occurrence_notes":"The show runs Thursday-Saturday", "guid":"6153-1133148@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/6153", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"Performance Network Theater- 120 East Huron, Ann Arbor, MI 48104", "location_name":"Off Campus Location", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["lgbt","theater"], "website":"http:\/\/www.performancenetwork.org", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Spectrum Center", "group_id":"1030", "website":"http:\/\/spectrumcenter.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":5, "first_occurrence":1133148 } , "6076-1133056": { "datetime_modified":"20110602T000012", "datetime_start":"20110602T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2011-06-02", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Ann Arbor Dance Works", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Ann Arbor Dance Works", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Works by NYC guest artist Sidra Bell, and premieres and recent repertory by resident choreographers Amy Chavasse, Bill DeYoung, Peter Sparling, and Robin Wilson.
