What is “End of Times Therapy” about?
The year is 2040. Food is scarce, war is imminent, and the patriarchy dominates local tribes. A lone therapist sets up a practice in La Crescenta where she tries to help a young woman find a better life. But power and politics continue to dominate American life even in the post-apocalypse. End of Times Therapy explores the themes of love, gender wars, class wars, real wars, and the therapeutic process. It also features a love story, several explosions, at least one helicopter, and some golf.

REVIEWS
“Never once did my mind drift away, thinking about other things but rather stayed completely engaged by the characters and story. The tempo moving from comedic lines to distress or fear was just right to keep the momentum up and the audience was kept involved with the story. The cast couldn’t have been more perfect for their parts. I loved the opening with just the announcements bringing the audience up to speed with where the story would take off. It reminded me of Orson Welles, War of the Worlds broadcast. I would be remiss not to mention the clever lines sprinkled throughout the play.” – Laura W.
