Bloom Bloom Pow

Bloom Bloom Pow is a New Georges supported climate-doom-comedy.
​
Mag feels stuck in their small hometown, juggling an underwhelming queer scene and and overwhelming mother. Overworked museum employees try to find their joy in the face of late-stage capitalism. A dead horse won’t shut up about being dumped in the East River. And from the depths, an ancient (and cute! and terrifying!) being rises to take its rightful place.
​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 de-centers humans, elevates microorganisms, and celebrates joy in the face of climate devastation.
keywords: dark comedy, queer dating, office politics, climate change, mother/child relationships, algae, midwestern

Reviews

A "compelling play...I particularly loved its clear voice."

- Theresa May, co-founder, EMOS Ecodrama Playwrights Festival 


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"
