Baby Boom, by Lia Romeo
From emerging American playwright Lia Romeo, Baby Boom is a delightfully quirky, sometimes comical, and ultimately tragic take on the normalization of guns in American culture. This one-act play peeks one layer below the facade of 1950s utopia and into the lives of two young American families. Through a series of twists and turns the play reveals a heartbreak, a yearning for family, a flickering love, a desire to be understood, a need for community, a tragic accident, and an innocent gun.
