Boom

Originally presented as a world premiere at The Theatre District under the title of The Room during EdgeFest in October 2002, Boom is the product of an intensive workshop process and collaboration between writer Max Riley and Artistic Director Macario Gaxiola. Riley’s drama explores a microcosm of society and mirrors what is quickly becoming a reality for “Baby-Boomers” everywhere. More and more “War Babies” are finding themselves in shock as the bombs of their maturing parents explode around them, and the fallout of aging hits their “Peter Pan” generation. Three women, one family, and one room, take us inside that journey.
