BOOM September 24, 2009

It's the end of the world. Do you have a date? Next Theatre presents the Chicago Premiere of 'BOOM' by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, directed by Jason Southerland. As an undiscovered comet hurtles towards earth, a lone scientist takes it upon himself to preserve the human race through a personal ad. But his plan for "intensely significant coupling" is more than his first date bargained for, food is running out, and his marine lab-turned-shelter is now beyond repair. This darkly funny experiment is an off-beat and hilarious look at the end of the world and how we might start anew.
