Photo Credit: Sue Coflin/Max PhotosIn 2017 an original play written by As the World Turns alum Trent Dawson, "The F," was produced at Manhatten Rep. in New York City. The play struck a chord with theatre-goers and is now being made into a film.
"The F" follows a real-time argument between Josh and Amanda. In this dark comedy, a New York subway platform becomes the stage for two lovers to battle about the truth: Did he or didn’t he? Who’s perception is real and who is delusional? A strange commuter seems to have the answers to their problems, but will either of them listen to her?
Dawson brought together a number of his former Atwt co-stars to perform "The F" live on stage at a benefit for the film on Friday, June 22. (Click here to support "The F" via the film's GoFundMe page.)

Atwt in New York Times: Stay Tuned for Soap Stars’ Next Acts
When production at the As The World Turns studio in Brooklyn halted in June, New York was left with only one soap — One Life To Live, on ABC — and hundreds of actors plotting their next real-life story lines.
“It’s the loss of a creative environment as much as a loss of paychecks,” said Trent Dawson.
In interviews with actors who brought life to the soap’s fictional Oakdale, few said they were caught off guard by the show’s demise. Mr. Silbermann said he sensed a certain end-time mood almost immediately after joining the show in 2007. Veteran cast members, he recalled, “would say, ’Oh, man, if only you were here years ago, when location shoots meant going to Rome instead of Staten Island.’ You know, too bad.”

Jim Parsons, Jonathan Capehart, Trent Dawson
As a change of pace from the boring lists of obvious hunks , we thought we'd present some contenders for the AfterElton.com Hot 100 that may not have crossed your minds.
These picks may be less conventional (read: more glasses, pocket protectors, Iq points) but no less deserving of consideration ...
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki
Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki star in The Big Bang Theory on CBS, and make me wish I had joined Av Squad in high school.
Jonathan Capehart
The out Washington Post reporter is a frequent contributor to MSNBC, and his big fancy words like "partisan" always impress me.
Daniel Eric Gold
Daniel plays Ugly Betty's latest nerdy boy-toy (she's used up quite a few). Hopefully he'll stick around awhile.
Nate Silver
I have an equation for everyone's favorite number cruncher: me - you = blue.
John Oliver
Definitely my favorite British faux Daily Show reporter.
