The purpose of the table read is to give those interested in auditioning (or just
learning about the play) an opportunity to hear it read aloud and ask questions
without any pressure to perform. The roles will be read by attendees, taking
turns if needed to accommodate all who show up. Attendance at the reading is
not required in order to audition and does not give any preferential standing at
the audition.

Useful forms for the audition can be found at this link:
Documents for table read
Audition form. Please bring a resume, if available.
Conflict calendar. Use this for all known conflict dates (or bring a list).
Sides: Check back a week before the audition. If no sides are posted, there
will be only cold readings.

Synopsis:
End Days follows the Stein family, each of whom is spiraling in their own way after
9/11. Sixteenyearold Rachel Stein is a cynical, goth outsider whose father, Arthur,
has sunk into deep depression and barely leaves his pajamas. Her mother, Sylvia,
has abruptly embraced evangelical Christianity and believes the Apocalypse is
coming…on Wednesday.
Into this chaos arrives Nelson, the sweet, scienceobsessed new neighbor who
dresses like Elvis and is determined to win over Rachel. As the supposed end
approaches, the family is forced to confront their grief, their fears, and each other
— with unexpected help from imagined versions of Jesus and Stephen Hawking.
The play blends humor, heart, and existential questions as the Steins stumble
toward connection and healing.

Characters (ALL ROLES ARE OPEN):
Rachel Stein – 16 year-old nihilistic goth. Feels angry and orphaned since
9/11, as both of her parents have withdrawn into their own worlds.
Sylvia Stein – Rachel’s mother (late 30s - early 50s). Newly Evangelical with a
close, personal relationship with Jesus.
Arthur Stein - Rachel’s father (late 30s - 50s). Deeply depressed, finding his
way.
Nelson Steinberg – Their new neighbor, also 16 years old. Passionate about
science, dresses as Elvis, loves Rachel.
Jesus and Stephen Hawking – Played by the same actor.
