2 Males, 3 Females A spotlight on the cycle of shame and abuse in an American family. Boy and Sissy have built their own brand of family under the roof of their frustrated father and self-obsessed stepmom. It’s their one refuge, given Boy’s imprisonment in a cage and Sissy's job as his keeper. But when he makes a desperate attempt to escape, Sissy’s own longing for freedom threatens to destroy them both. “dark and murky, but with a streak of humor that compounds its visceral effect.” —Time Out Chicago “Boy Small is a look from the outside at the case of a brutally murdered boy to question how we can make sense of something so horrific.” —Chicago Theatre Review “Cozzola has a fundamental understanding of how people talk to one another and how certain kinds of talk lead to other kinds of talk.” —Chicago Stage Review
