Performed by actor Hannah Starr and her 1979 Montgomery Ward boombox, “BOOMBOX” is a solo sketch comedy show timed out to a pre-recorded cassette tape. The boombox is the music, sound effects and scene partner to Hannah as she plays through a the course of a working actor's day. Through characters, sketches, and song Hannah reveals a world in which constant noise is the norm, success is mandatory, and the quest for peace is never-ending.
