Box Americana

Located at the economic epicenter of Sprawlville, USA, the play takes place at a moment when the world’s largest employer is defending itself against the largest class-action lawsuit in American history. Box Americana follows two sales associates of Wal-Mart #242128—Kelly, a pathological cheerleader for the Wal-Mart ideology, and Danae, a desperate mother escaping her violent and impoverished past—as they seek the Promised Land of retail abundance.
