Milo Cramer

Milo Cramer is a writer and performer. Works include SCHOOL PICTURES ("best theater of 2023... absolutely wonderful" – New York Magazine), a one-person opera about the broken New York City school system, which premiered at Playwrights Horizons and was featured on NPR’s This American Life, and CUTE ACTIVIST (“a brilliant match of material and theater… a fable for our times” – The New York Times), a fabulist satire of social media, at The Bushwick Starr in Brooklyn. With New Saloon Theater Company, Milo spent 5 years devising and touring MINOR CHARACTER: SIX TRANSLATIONS OF UNCLE VANYA AT THE SAME TIME, a kaleidoscopic riff on Chekhov’s greatest hit, ultimately seen at The Public Theater’s Under The Radar Festival in 2019 (“delightful… a spring-green forum on youth’s discontents” – The Village Voice).

Milo is overjoyed to be doing BUSINESS IDEAS here at the Alliance, where it won the 2024 Kendeda Award. The play was previously developed by Clubbed Thumb in New York and Cygnet Theater in San Diego. Milo is a MacDowell Fellow, a recent graduate of Naomi Iizuka’s MFA playwriting program at UC San Diego, a grateful middle child, and an Aries. Milo is currently writing a musical about three old-fashioned sailors who are trying hard to have a meaningful life in their last 24 hours onshore before they’re shipped to die in an offstage war, but the Big Problem is these sailors Never Do Anything Right because they’re Just Too Silly.
