Bloom Bloom Pow

Bloom Bloom Pow is a New Georges supported climate-doom-comedy.
​
This rural queer adventure is an underwater romance. It’s a workplace nightmare. It’s a devastating reminder that we can’t fix our parents. But good news -- the algae’s growing bigger every day! Oh wait, that’s bad news for us.
Inspired by the Creature from the Black Lagoon, toxic algal blooms in the Great Lakes, and phone calls with your mom, this highly theatrical play celebrates resilience and joy in the face of climate devastation.

Audience Responses:
"the naturalistic dialogue pops and sparks, and the fantastical (yet all too realistic) challenges kept me on the edge of my seat."​

​"SO weirdly wonderful...a dark and hilarious piece that will...make you consider what part you play in maintaining and healthy and safe environment"
