BOOM X is a vibrant one-man show created and performed by Rick Miller, exploring the music, culture, and significant events of Generation X. The performance spans from the iconic Woodstock festival in 1969, just after Governors State University opened, to 1995, the year the Center for Performing Arts was established. This U.S. premiere promises an energetic journey through a pivotal era of American history and culture.
