Boy in a Box

Through the lens of a brilliant, cancelled Professor of American History, Boy dissects and exposes the systemic racism that built the United States. Through abstract realism and historical analysis, it is a stark warning of what lies ahead if we 'let the boy out of the box'. Directed by Thomas Zoeschg and developed at The Actors Studio™, writer/performer Coates has performed in New York, Off-Broadway and throughout the US with fifty years of theatrical experience.
