Vignettes for the Apocalypse – 2010

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.

“I went in prepared to hate it, ready to use every adjective in the book to slam their insensitivity, their cruelty — and walked out amazed at what they’d done with a story that, on its own merits, was already so far over the top it couldn’t be improved by satire. Playing it straight was satire.” — Chicago Sun-Times
