Horse Power: Tom Bass' American Story

Horse Power:  Tom Bass' American Story

A Coterie World Premiere in co-production with the American Royal and featuring puppets by What If Puppets.

Tom Bass, a Missourian born in slavery, became the greatest horseman of his time. Internationally known for being a horse whisperer, among his many accolades, he started the American Royal’s first horse show. In contemporary times, Natalia (“Nate”) Edmonds loves horses, especially the one her parents bought her for her birthday. As a Black teenager, she learns about and is inspired by the legacy of Tom Bass as she grapples with what modern day racism looks like.
