DramaTech’s Virtual Production Of ‘Boom’ Addresses Existence, Science and More

While Georgia Tech is renowned for its engineering and technology programs, for 73 years, the university has had a student-run theater, DramaTech.

Host Lois Reitzes spoke with artistic director Melissa Foulger and actor/engineering student Austin Hughes on WABE’s “City Lights.” Their virtual play “Boom” runs through June 27.

The play follows two students — Jules, played by Hughes, and Jo — who go on a date just before a comet hits Earth, leaving them as the last two people on the planet. A third character, Barbara, appears as a God-like character who controls much of their lives.
