Established in 1999, the Boomerang Theatre Company is dedicated to producing big, distinctive plays: new, classic, and neglected plays. These efforts are brash, swaggering plays of big theatrical questions, a love of language rooted in our shared humanity. We annually present these projects as outdoor productions and indoor rotating repertory seasons. These plays are produced with a “swing for the fences” mentality, allowing Boomerang to push beyond the perceived limitations of an Off-Off-Broadway/Indie Theatre company. Our goal is to establish a sustained dialogue with our audience around significant dramatic questions, using humor to make us think and drama to laugh at our frailty.

During his time as Artistic Director of Boomerang, Tim has produced over 60 full productions (including 20 free Shakespeare productions) and overseen development workshops and readings for over 100 new plays. Tim has directed Boomerang productions of CANDIDA, HAMLET and BURNING THE OLD MAN, among others. In addition to Boomerang, Tim has been on staff at Lincoln Center Theater and New Dramatists. @timerrickson
