Apocalyptic theatre... help!

I'm doing my senior project next semester and want to do a night of scenes, all having to do with the apocalypse or end of the world. I've got a couple friends writing scenes, and might do some 'Endgame' but just don't know where else to look.

Anybody else have any suggestions?

its a stretch, but No Exit comes to mind - its a look at life in Hell, and is interesting because it is the end of the world for your characters, and, the afterlife.

Thornton Wilder's Our Town also references the frivolity of life on earth and how none of it matters in the long run.

these are both not the dramatic apocalypse stereotypical thing you're probably looking for, but i thought i'd mention them in case.

We did Exit the King in studio theatre class this year. I think it might work well. Here... http://www.stageagent.com/Shows/View/4934 .
