In Boom, 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

font-family:Arial'>CPT is proud to present this quirky comedy about an old
house and Janice, a twelve year old girl whose Christmas wish list includes
bleach, paraffin and other bomb-making materials. It's been a year since the
untimely death of Janice's father, and to deal with it all, she holds spiteful
conversations with her dolls and dreams of Justin Timberlake, while her mother
fantasizes about Harrison Ford and relies on her superior baking skills to hold
herself together. Throw in an apartment that starts to plot murder and you're
left with a wild and crazy ride to redemption and healing. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
