Hello Boston.

In AUTOCRAT, Cody Sullivan uses his 35-year-old gay body to inhabit the members of the Leclerc family, a French-Canadian-descended, lower-middle-class family living in South Central Massachusetts. What is the torture for this family in Massachusetts? And why is it centered around an old bottle of Autocrat Coffee Syrup? See the play that critics called "the flavor of the times" (Provincetown Independent), a show that "crackles with electricity" and "is in short, brilliant" (Provincetown Magazine).

Cody Sullivan is a playmaker based out of Boston and Provincetown MA. 

Cody was trained as an improviser in Chicago at the iO Theater where he performed for five years. He has spent the last decade writing plays. He creates solo plays, community theater and plays for his company. His community theater project CODY PLAYS ran at the the Wilde Theater from June 2023 to August 2026. His solo work has been presented at The Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, the Toronto Sketch Fest, and the Provincetown Theater where he was Playwright in Residence for 2024. He is finding his way as a modern day regionalist and luddite in an overwrought globalist online world.

Press

“Local performer Cody Sullivan and a group of equally free-spirited locals gather every Monday to write a play, make costumes, and perform their joyfully slap-dash production in less than 24 hours…The results are outrageous and boisterous and harken back to Provincetown’s devil-may-care days.”

— Christopher Muther, Boston Globe

“The results are fabulous, ephemeral creations…They only exist in the minds of those who were there and how that memory reverberates in the ether thereafter, a purposeful thumbing of the nose at our digital culture that has us overstimulated and increasingly living via imagery or remotely rather than communally, with in-person experiences.”

- Steve Desroches, Provincetown Magazine

“Provincetown-based writer/performer Cody Sullivan takes us on a breathlessly funny whirlwind of myriad characters, democratic proceedings, conflicting agendas, and head-scratching logistics of the town business meeting that annually occurs each spring in the quaint seaside hamlet of Provincetown.”
