NEW YORK — Afterglow

Off-Broadway June 11, 2017 - August 12, 2018

"Hit of the Off-Broadway Season"

— THEATREMANIA
"A Steamy, Stripped Down Look At Gay Intimacy"

— THE HUFFINGTON POST
"Succeeds as it titillates."

— GAY CITY NEWS
"Penetrates the psyche in a way that many gay men will find relatable. A gritty tale of commitment on the cusp of questioning its boundaries, the incredible acting and intense writing propels the audience’s minds and hearts into their emotional plights."

— ADVOCATE
"Necessary in the modern era."

— PRIDE
"Vivid and honest depictions like these foster a greater understanding of the way we live now."

— TOWELROD
"Compelling. Highly charged and extremely sexual. They certainly know how to grab our attention."

— FRONT MEZZ JUNKIES + TIMES SQUARE CHRONICLE
"I HIGHLY recommend slating an evening with your lover, your best friend, multiple lovers or even by yourself to take in this experience and feel the emotional chords it strikes within you."

— ONE GAY AT A TIME
"Fresh and riveting. S. Asher Gelman has set the bar high with his first play, Afterglow. Gelman is nuanced as both a director and a writer. The nudity—and it is extensive—is presented with a charged eroticism rather than gratuitous titillation. There is no long-term afterglow for the characters in Gelman’s play. But for the audience there surely is. It comes from experiencing an impressive calling card from a gifted new playwright and director."
