BOOM

Description

Rick Miller has quite the résumé: director, actor, comedian, musician and playwright. And he puts all those skills to good use in his solo show BOOM which documents the music, culture and politics that helped shape the Baby Boomer generation. Miller’s show spans 25 years from 1945 to 1969, and through it he gives voice to more than 100 different characters including activists, musicians and politicians. Perhaps it’s just the right antidote for all those “OK Boomer” memes.
