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.

‘Godling’ Delivered to the Bay Area

SF Fringe 2009 Award Winners: Sold Out award, Best Ensemble, and Best Director (Russell Dobular).

“Pushing Theatre to the edge fearlessly and perhaps even wantonly … unlike anything else that’s playing on stage in New York at the moment.” – Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com

The dark and twisted sensation from the 2009 Vignettes for the Apocalypse, “The Godling” opens to new audiences at the San Francisco Fringe Festival this September.  EndTimes returns to the Fringe after winning the Best Drama and Best Production with ‘Knuckleball’ in 2008, this time offering a post-apocalyptic circus drama that will push your limits.

A pregnant girl, a clown and a torturer get caught up in a mad carnival owner’s dream of manufacturing his own freaks.  Written by Mark Borkowski and directed by Russell Dobular boasts a strong ensemble cast featuring Leal Vona, Leah Dashe, Marek Sapieyeveski, Paul Krasner, and Candace Janee.

For our New York audiences, EndTimes will be previewing the updated production of ‘The Godling’ at the Kraine Theatre (85 E. 4th Street) on Sunday, September 6th, 2009 at 8:00pm.
