Sam and Rose have been married for a long time – a very long time. When Sam jumps ship off an anniversary cruise (literally) and washes up on the Captivating Siren’s island, he finds out that he’s been wrong about life and love. But can he get back to Rose? Does he get a second chance? Can he make a change? Ahhhhh…..love; or not?

Additional Auditions in Lockhart for Sirens, a comedy by Deobrah Zoe Laufer, January 13, 2013

The Gaslight Baker Theatre in Lockhart is holding an additional audition for Sirens by Deborah Zoe Laufer Saturday, January 13 at 2 p.m. at the theatre at 2l16 S. Main Street (click for map).

When Sam first fell in love with Rose he wrote her a song which has been covered by every recording artist and translated into every language and every genre. After years of marriage, Sam has lost his muse and on an anniversary cruise with Rose, he jumps ship (literally) upon hearing the song of the Siren. 

 On her island he must struggle with the terrors of middle age, the tortures of creative failure and the desire to live in his past rather then face his uncertain future. He must find a way to get home – to his wife. And if he does, how can he possibly win her back?

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.
