San Antonio, TX End Days, by contemporary playwright Deborah Zoe Laufer, directed by Proxy's Artistic Director Aaron Aguilar, is about the end; of the world, that is. "I think Deborah Zoe Laufer has found a great paradox about living in the new millennium; the advance of technology and science makes this world extremely wondrous and terrifying at the same time. It's funny because after 150 years, we're still wondering: is this the best of times or the worst? Either way, this time, it's a little funnier. Sorry Mr. Dickens." said Director Aaron Aguilar. The play is the opening production of Proxy's second season, and is sure to be popular with an audience as it is "...Both poignantly redemptive and often hilariously funny," according to the Huffington Post. With Proxy's production, End Days, which won the 2008 American Theatre Critics Association Steinberg Citation, will finally have a San Antonio premiere.

End Days by Deborah Zoe Laufer premiered in 2008, seven years after the attacks of 9/11the event that breaks the Stein family. The father, Arthur, doesn't do much of anything anymore, while Sylvia, the mom, has developed a close, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. With her parents effectively abandoning her, it's no wonder that Rachel Stein rebels by wearing all black, painting her face white and railing against her parents. Add the new kid across the street proclaiming his love for her, and it's easy to see why Rachel is miserable. The only thing that could make things worse is if Jesus told her mom that the world is going to end on Wednesday.
