Church & State to play New World Stages open-ended run

Rob Nagle will star as Senator Charlie Whitmore in the New York premiere of Church & State, a comedy written by Jason Odell Williams and directed by Markus Potter, which will begin previews off-Broadway at New World Stages on 3 March 2017, before an official opening on 20 March.

Synopsis: "Church & State is a comedy about faith, politics, and 'The Twitter.' It's three days before Charlie Whitmore's Senate reelection and he's decided to finally tell the public exactly what's on his mind, no filter. What could possibly go wrong?"

Additional casting and creative information will be announced at a later date.

Church & State is produced off-Broadway by Charlotte Cohn, Brierpatch Productions, Neil Gooding Productions and SCS Innovations, LLC, in association with NewYorkRep and The Telling Company.

This marks the off-Broadway debut for Rob Nagle, who is perhaps best known for recurring TV roles on "Eli Stone," "Lincoln Heights" and "Dawson's Creek." His film credits include "Bad Samaritan," "Mother's Day," "Boost," "Fishing Naked," "New Year's Eve," "Life As We Know It," "The Soloist," "Fun With Dick and Jane," "Cellular," and "American Wedding."
