Coming up next is Bethlehem by Octavio Solis, directed by Aaron Aguilar! If you're interested in being involved with our last show of our second season, come to auditions June 22nd at noon!

From books.google.com:  Characters: 2 male, 5 female.  Winner of the 2003 National Latino Playwriting Award.  A dark work about self-knowledge and the nature of evil, where the devil lives in a godless world. Lee, accompanied by his photographer girlfriend Dru, arrives in El Paso to interview Mateo, (a convicted murderer recently released), over a period of a few days. During the intense interview process, Lee so empathizes with his subject's life in the past that he merges his own past with it in order to reenact it. The bloody conclusion draws upon the dangers of defining the nature of evil.

It may be spring in Texas, but it’s winter at Proxy
The Flu Season reminds us of the coldest times of in lives

Proxy Theatre continues its successful second season with The Flu Season, written by award-winning contemporary playwright Will Eno. Although the play will be opening in the Texas heat of May, the inhabitants of a psychiatric rehab are going through the winter of their lives. But love happens no matter the season.

The Flu Season will remind of you of the warmest and coldest times in your life. "The Flu Season takes place in both a hospital and a theater," said Aguilar, "It's a play about the love we feel for the art we create and for another person...and it's about how easy it is to screw up that love. We nurture, we toil, we invest, and yet somehow it still goes up in flames. And so what? We're not perfect. The Flu Season is an exciting new kind of theatre by Will Eno; it's certainly experimental, but like all his work it is still so tenderly, so passionately human."

Written in 2003, The Flu Season is the winner of the 2004 Oppenheimer Award for best New York debut by an American playwright. Focusing on the narratives of a Man and Woman and their Doctor and Nurse, this play is a love story for today-- one that doesn't necessarily end well. Through Prologue and Epilogue the audience is enabled to view the hopeful beginnings and jaded hindsight of the writer, framing the characters in both the present and future.

Runs May 16th-June 1st at 8 pm at The Overtime Theater. Shows are Thursday-Saturday at 8pm. Tickets go on sale May 2nd. All events take place at the Overtime Theater at 1203 Camden St, SATX 78215. Free parking can be found on site.

End Days 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 2008American 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 9/11—the event that breaks the Stein family. The father, Arthur, doesn’t do much of anything anymore, while Lisa, 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.

Proxy Theatre, San Antonio, auditions for End Days by Deborah Zoe Laufer, directed by Aaron Aguilar, Friday, August 31 by appointment. Callbacks on September 1. Performances: November 1-17, Thursday-Saturday. This play will begin Proxy Theatre's 2nd Season entitled The Leper Colony.

End Days is a fun, quirky comedy about love, religion, living in the now, and, you know, the end of the world. 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 sixteen-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. (SamuelFrench.com)

Red Light Winter

by Adam Rapp

June 17-19 and June 23-25

Attic Theatre of Trinity University, One Trinity Place, San Antonio, TX 78212 (click for map). The suggested donation for admission is $10 and only cash is accepted. Advance reservations are strongly encouraged. Please call (210) 999-8585 to reserve your seat.

Red Light Winter includes nudity and adult themes and is not intended for young audiences.

Proxy Theatre Company, formed by recent Trinity University graduates, under the mentorship of the AtticRep, will burst onto the San Antonio theatre scene with a striking contemporary story of love. Adam Rapp’s Red Light Winter explores a twisted triangle of unrequited love, lust, and intrigue that arises between two former college roommates and a mysterious French prostitute in Amsterdam.

Proxy Theatre’s Artistic Director and director of Red Light Winter, Aaron Aguilar, chose the play because it offers San Antonio audiences “a stunning glimpse at the character’s lives, at our lives. Because we’ve all been there, we have that friend, we’ve met that person that we weren’t meant to fall in love with, but do anyway. These characters can teach us about ourselves in such a funny and heartbreaking way…this play stays with you.” Expressive and haunting, Red Light Winter delivers a story about the relationships and passions that control our lives.

Proxy Theatre Company is dedicated to creating a space where we can experience and evaluate the danger, ardor, and play of life. We are committed to telling the human story through striking theatre that excites, enriches, and captivates the imagination of the San Antonio community. For more information, check us out on Facebook. Stay tuned for the development of our website www.proxytheatre.org.

The introduction of Proxy Theatre Company is part of the AtticRep FORUM: a public meeting place for open discussion and artistic enterprise where our community and artists converge to create art and to join the conversation around social, intellectual, and artistic issues. The FORUM is proud to provide guidance and support for the development of this new company.
