NOMADIC THEATRE
(Student-produced event )
Boom
By Peter Sinn Nachtreib
Directed by Johan Clarke (COL ‘15)
Produced by Suzanne Coles (COL ‘17)
In a world where chaos reigns, the future is impossible to anticipate. Such is the case in this hilarious dark comedy, in which every turn gives Jo and Jules something new to overcome after a night of “no strings attached” sex takes on evolutionary significance. What is our purpose in life? Where is our species going? Who is the woman with the timpani in the corner of the stage? With each new twist, the play delves deeper, musing about science, life, gender, sexuality, power, museums, and fish–making you laugh while forcing you to question your own existence.

Sick
By Zayd Dohrn
Directed by Greg Keiser (COL ‘16)
Produced by Nicole Chenelle (COL ‘15)
“Often what we dread the most is what we’ve already hidden from ourselves. In the dark comedy Sick, a college professor brings a student home to meet his dysfunctional family – a home so obsessed with cleanliness that the real dirt lurks around every corner and behind every sentence. Toying with post 9/11 phobias, Sick plays upon our fears, both real and imagined, and takes a magnified look at the realities we refuse to accept about ourselves.”

(Student-produced event)
Killer Joe
Written by Tracy Letts
Directed by Andrew Walker (SFS ‘16)
Produced by Sarah Konig (COL ‘16)
Hired by the dissolute Smith family to murder the matriarch for insurance money, Killer Joe takes the daughter to bed as a retainer against his final payoff which sets in motion a bloody aftermath as the “hit man” meets his match. The first play by Tracy Letts, author of August: Osage County , Killer Joe revels in its white trash stereotypes, and gives you permission to do the same; it’s pulp fiction which has it both ways, deriving humor from dirty realism.
