Jonathan Larson’s "tick, tick… BOOM!" is an autobiographical rock musical that invites us into the head and heart of a young composer who feels the clock ticking on his life and dreams. This is not simply a linear narrative, it is a memory play. The events unfold as Jonathan looks back at a pivotal weekend leading up to his 30th birthday, a weekend that will determine the course of his artistic future. The show is a collage of memory, reflection, fear, and hope. This production is the Thesis Project of M.F.A. Stage Manager, DJ Maloney, who serves as the Director and Producer.

This dark comedy, set in a modest Vancouver hotel, is about Chilean refugees who struggle with the various tragicomic effects of fleeing their homeland. Laid bare in the fictionalized autobiographical details of the play are universal truths that victims and survivors of political oppression continue to experience everywhere – and about love’s power to heal.
