Coleman challenged Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger and J. Edgar Hoover in the 1960s. He managed Chicago's premiere music venue in the 1970s. He headed Chicago's gay men's health clinic in the height of the 1980s AIDS epidemic. He dragged the convention and travel industry kicking and screaming into the use of technology in the 1980s and 90s, and he introduced the industry to the word 'diversity'. In the early 21st century he built his own outdoor black-box theatre, where he premiered more than 30 new plays by American playwrights. Coleman is the author of an award-winning memoir (SPOKE) a collection of plays (FAUX POE) and a novel (KIDNAPPING HENRY KISSINGER). His plays have received multiple productions, including the 2018 premieres of A CONTEST OF WILLS and his adaptation for the stage of Sagashus' Levingston's INFAMOUS MOTHERS. He received a Literary Artist Fellowship from the Wisconsin Arts Council and is a three-time recipient of an artist-community collaboration grant from the Wisconsin Arts Council. He teaches writing workshops for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a member of the Dramatist Guild of America and Playwrights Ink (Madison).
