Celebrate the beginning of a new year and the end of the world as we know it - as SAN DIEGO REPERTORY THEATRE presents boom. Written by PETER SINN NACHTRIEB, this darkly funny comedy tells the story of a marine biologist and his hard-edged female companion (who he met online!) as they prepare for the apocalypse. Directed by REP Artistic Director Sam WoodHOUSE, boom is a madcap comedy that suggests hope is worth holding on to precisely because we don't know what will happen next. A dynamite cast has been assembled for boom, including STEVEN LONE as the strange, but loveable marine biologist Jules; RACHAEL VANWORMER as his less-than-romantic counterpart Jo and SYLVIA M'LAFI THOMPSON as Barbara, the audience's tour guide through the duo's cataclysmic adventure. Performances continue through January 31, 2010 at The Lyceum Theatre.

Twenty-something marine biologist Jules has turned his apartment into an underground lab and bunker to survive the end of life on earth as we know it. Dead sure that a comet is due to hit the planet in fewer than ten minutes, Jules has a plan to repopulate the human race-he's invited journalist-in-training Jo over for a hookup that promises "sex to change the world." But Jo, "an appealingly ferocious feminist," has no intention of being stuck underground with a geeky madman for a doomsday dating game. So begins a sensational twist on the bedroom farce that is an uproariously funny mix of smarts, sex and social satire.
