School Pictures
- Written and performed by Milo Cramer
- Directed by Morgan Green
Faith hates reading, Jane lost her flashcards, and Javier sees no point in studying because of climate change. This playful collection of poem-songs, written and performed by Milo Cramer – a former tutor – paints intimate portraits of ten NYC students fighting to get into competitive schools. School Pictures is a charming musical journal of keen observations which builds to a sweeping meditation on inequality, learning, parenting, and the cruelty of puberty.
Ikechukwu Ufomadu's Amusements, Alexandra Tatarsky's Sad Boys in Harpy Land, and Milo Cramer's School Pictures will be performed in rotation throughout November.

More About School Pictures
School Pictures is completely wonderful! Milo Cramer is gently riveting.
A layered, compassionate view of the striving urban parents and pressured children so routinely distilled to cliché.
