It has been said that there is approximately only a 1 in 100th of a chance that a person will land a job working in theater in New York. The chances of working successfully in the industry are smaller than that. Sometimes, though, you meet people like EXTINCTION's James Roday (of the hit television series 'Psych') and Michael Weston ('House') who make you forget that the odds of doing so are not stacked so high - who make you truly believe that if one can simply 'find good material, do what you know and grow it into something bigger' (to quote Roday) that enriched careers in entertainment are truly achievable.
What follows in Gabe McKinley's EXTINCTION, presented by Red Dog Squadron, is a dissection of life's changes and the ability to evolve, where the two characters bounce back and forth between the lure of maturity and reckless abandonment. The show offers riotous laughs, hard-hitting truths, and a brutally-riveting finale that literally takes your breath away.
