    Every time I read this script, I'm excited for the potential of American Theatre. Dawes has crafted a brilliant script that reflects our culture so perfectly. Searing, nonsensical, and emotional, END OF THE DAY is the water-cooler talk that theatre needs right now.

    If we re-wrote the theatrical canon, I'd want this show added immediately. An hilarious rip into all things reality TV and reality itself. End of the Day will force you to rethink the stories we can tell onstage.

    Must See TV now exists on the stage. Dawes has created a captivating, weird, jarring, joyous, and terrifying look at reality, television and otherwise. Through all the facades, there is a deeply human story here. Such a remarkable challenge for actors. Cannot wait to binge this whole play cycle!
