“Stephen King High School: The Musical” is an unauthorized parody, conceived and composed by Jamie King and Sam Rosenberg with book and lyrics by Jamie King.

April 7th – 18nd 2010
at The Red Room Theater
85 East 4th Street, NYC 10003

Following hot on the heels of their hits, Naked Holidays  NYC, and Manson the Musical,  EndTimes Productions is pleased to announce their 4th Annual one-act festival: Vignettes for the Apocalypse 2010, a collection of twenty one-act plays, dealing with dystopian, futuristic, and apocalyptic themes.

Artistic Director Russell Dobular has chosen pieces that reflect a diversity of writing styles, ranging from sci-fi to traditional horror, the comic, and the dramatic, while representing a unifying vision of our culture and society, both past and present, as it faces the real possibility of imminent collapse.  This year’s festival sees the return of  cult writer/actor, Mark Borkowski, author of last year’s festival highlight, “The Godling”, with his new play examining the  BTK killings, “The Kids Are Awake”.  Playwright Steve Strangio also returns, with the premiere of his comic deconstruction of psychosexual horror film violence, “Savage Hot Babe Massacre”.  Mr. Strangio offers the audience three different endings, but we’re betting the Bollywood dance number will win out every time.  Other highlights include a future first world eatery, with an unusual third world menu,  a space station murder mystery, a zombie lothario who prefers a diet of women’s hearts,  and a future in which overpopulation has reached such epidemic proportions that the average Manhattan apartment of today would seem luxurious by comparison.

EndTimes Productions, through its festivals, productions, and facilities, has provided opportunities for hundreds of theatre artists, since its inception in 2006.  Endtimes provides its artists with free rehearsal space, staff support, complete coverage of production expenses, and for young directors a mentoring program in which they assist more experienced directors on full productions.

Performances are April 7th thru April 18th, 2010.

At The Red Room Theater –
85 East 4th Street, NYC  10003(between 2nd and 3rd Avenue)

March 11th @  8pM

Danny Torrance is a talented young writer and the most popular boy at Castle Rock High. But when he meets Carrie White, a mysterious redhead with a history of heartbreak and telekinesis, he learns that sometimes the most terrifying thing in Maine…is love.

Will everybody laugh at them? Will Danny succumb to the deadly charms of Dolores, his “Number One Fan?” Will he be murdered by his Dad? And how does that creepy clown over there feel about all this? One thing’s for sure…in some schools, dead is better!

Stephen King’s High School Musical was created by Jamie King and Sam Rosenberg and enjoyed it’s premier at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre (NYC) on December 18th, 2009 under the direction of John Flynn. It features eight original songs and stars Sam Rosenberg, Sarah Jane Marek, Kendra Treichler, Alessandro Colla, Bob Barth, Brianna Tyson and Leal Vona as Dollawise the Evil Rapping Clown.

Review from Broadwayworld.com:

“The most unique [presentation] thus far was the stunning and clever Stephen King’s High School Musical…the wit of the writing was on the same level as that of the Urinetown folks. Don’t be surprised if this duo is writing musical comedy for Broadway producers very soon. The show also featured some great performers including [Sarah Jane Marek] as Carrie with a song about telekinesis that had the audience nearly falling out of their seats with laughter, and Brianna Tyson who’s portrayal of Carrie’s zombie mother was one of the highlights of the night. “
