School Pictures
Xavier has stopped doing homework because of climate change. Dana never turns her Zoom camera on. James hates reading. A portrait of the NYC school system, told in musical snapshots of individual teenagers, sung by their broke, hapless tutor.
A broke and hapless tutor performs original songs about teenage students, their parents, and the SAT in this charming, funny, and insightful one-person musical.
Writer/performer Milo Cramer (Minor Character) was inspired by their real-life experiences as a tutor to create this intimate, fictional musical, which they describe as “loving musical portraits of struggling students.”
School Pictures contains warmhearted insights into our inequitable educational system. This world premiere is directed by Lead Artistic Director Morgan Green, who previously directed the world premiere virtual production of James Ijames’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play Fat Ham.

The witty and humorous presentation of "School Pictures" was a true delight. Milo Cramer commanded the attention of each guest as they eloquently dissected the racial, cultural and academic inequities that students of color continue to face after decades of systematic and political construct. Their funny and creative depictions of each student brought their characters to life as they metaphorically delved into their past, present and futures. This show is a must see!
