In <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Boom</SPAN></I>, something is about to explode and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. CPT presents the regional premiere of this exciting work that premiered at Ars Nova in NYC in March 2008. In this hilarious new work, female journalism student Jo answers male marine biologist Jules' casual- encounters ad seeking "intensely significant coupling." She gets stuck in his makeshift lab-turned-shelter and finds herself surrounded by bourbon, fish tanks and a bunch of scary levers. It's the end of the world as we know it and this is the date to end all dates! </FONT></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></P></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">
