UA’s Studio Series presents boom by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb

Directed by Cassy Crandall

A comedy as much about the beginning of life as the end, boom puts the last woman, a journalist who hates the idea of babies, and last man, a gay marine biologist, on Earth together in an underground lab after a comet strikes. Will these two repopulate the planet? And who is this third character – a woman acting as a museum-type guide for this end-of-the-world tale, playing with levers and buttons? The play roams across billions of years and explores how randomness influences not only the course of an individual, but all of those living on Earth as we know it.

Peter Sinn Nachtrieb is the playwright-in-residence at the Z Space in San Francisco. His play, boom, has been performed at numerous theatres in the United States.

Cassy Crandall is a senior in the BA Theatre program. This will be her School of Theatre, Film & Television directing debut!

See the story that owns the tag line: “Sex to Change the Course of the World,” and be

prepared to enjoy this whacked-out, apocalypse fantasy.
