A surge of energy, originality, and comedy hit the stage like a comet on Jan. 27 in the tower theater of McConnell when Boom exploded on stage. It is a play about the end of the world completely run and directed by Central students.

“You tip a box and all the marbles run to the corner,” Breckon said. “It’s the same. Wherever the puck is, that’s where the kids tend to go.”
