While Willo and Alexa technically became friends in 2016 during a high school acting class, they did have a pre-existing invisible string. A chaotic adolescent memory that is burned into Willo's mind and completely government-scrubbed from Alexa's. The year was 2011 and a random old man decided to write his own version of The Sound of Music and make a bunch of gawky middle-schoolers perform it. There they were, a 13 year old Alexa burning with rage and humiliation after having to simulate a kiss with her nemesis and an 11 year old Willo meandering around in the tiniest lederhosen you've ever seen. Fast forward to 2018, Alexa and Willo reunited after two years of separation in a summer production of The Rocky Horror Show and they have been inseparable ever since.

Willo and Alexa see End Times as a venture of chaotic good against the “lawful evil” in the industry. Tired of rejection and naysayers, they’re determined to challenge themselves and the status quo.

End Times Theater will create performances that reflect the anger and hope surrounding the perceived collapse of both the theater industry and life itself. They are committed to providing a space for the emotional complexities people face as they grapple with unfulfilled dreams, inspired by a community of young theater makers eager to instigate change.
