United Solo Festival will present Boomer, a solo play written and performed by Ken Straus, at Theatre Row in New York City. The production has one performance scheduled for Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
The 70-minute, single-act show explores decades of cultural changes through the perspective of a baby boomer reflecting on his past. The story follows a trajectory from Detroit auto plants through the 1960s, Los Angeles, Wall Street, and the aftermath of 9/11.
Combining elements of stand-up comedy, social critique, and character work, the performance examines generational shifts, personal compromises, and modern society. The play traces the evolution of a generation from its early ideals to its present state.
Straus is an actor and playwright whose previous work includes the full-length drama The Great Betrayal. His screen acting credits include television roles in Law & Order: SVU, Gotham, and The Last O.G., along with a film role as Richard Nixon in Dick and Jack.
The production takes place at Theatre Row, located at 410 West 42nd Street. General admission tickets are priced at $73. Click here to purchase tickets.
