Lisa Peterson (The Poor Itch) directs the production that will officially open March 30 and run through April 19. End Days made its world premiere at Florida Stage in 2007, followed by productions at the Phoenix Theater in Indianapolis and Curious Theater in Denver.

In End Days, according to EST, "sixteen-year-old Rachel Stein is having a bad year. Her father hasn't changed out of his pajamas since 9/11. Her mother has begun a close, personal relationship with Jesus. Her new neighbor, a 16-year-old Elvis impersonator, has fallen for her, hard. And the Apocalypse is coming Wednesday. Her only hope is that Stephen Hawking will save them all."

End Days has set design by Lee Savage, lighting design by Raquel Davis, costume design by Suzanne Chesney, with sound design and original composition by Ryan Rumery.
