Deborah Zoe Laufer’s witty two-act play offers both humor and compassion 
as it explores the dynamics of modern family life in the wake of the 
9/11 tragedy. With Armageddon seemingly bearing down on them, the Steins 
discover what they hold most sacred.

Ren Harris, a Kent resident, plays the part of Rachel Stein, a 
rebellious sixteen-year-old who is having a bad year. Her deeply 
depressed father (Scott Stachiw of Chagrin Falls) lost his job after 
9/11 and hasn’t changed out of his pajamas since then. Although Jewish, 
Rachel’s mother (Brenda Redmond of Twinsburg) had an epiphany and has 
begun a close, personal relationship with Jesus (Andrew Gordon of Hudson.)

Adding to the plot, Rachel’s new teenage neighbor Nelson Steinburg 
(Travis Reilly of Cleveland Heights) dresses up like Elvis, is 
passionate about science and Stephen Hawking, and is in love with 
Rachel. With the apocalypse due to arrive on Wednesday, Rachel’s only 
hope is that Hawking (also played by Gordon) can save them all.

“I want to focus on the relationships between the characters and how 
each was affected by the tragic events of 9/11,” Marzullo said. “At the 
same time, I’m bringing out the discord in the family and how each 
member comes together with the help of a ‘savior’ in the form of a 
nerdy, quirky, but good-hearted neighbor boy. END DAYS is a black comedy 
which, although dealing with a serious subject like the possible end of 
the world, finds humor in it all."
