New York Magazine’s choice for Best Play of 2023, a “completely wonderful” musical portrait of modern school life is “as riveting as it [is] sweetly funny.”

Directed by Morgan Green, this “extraordinary meditation on teaching and learning” is told in musical snapshots of individual teenagers. Solo writer-performer Milo Cramer, a former tutor, offers charming and keen observations of ten New York City students fighting to get into competitive schools. At its heart are questions about what’s really worth knowing and worth sacrificing in a system in which success seems so arbitrarily distributed. 

Featuring solo writer-performer Milo Cramer.

Note: The 2/4 performance is a final dress rehearsal.

Themes

  • Milo is telling stories of their life as a tutor in New York City, and about the intense pressures that students and families felt about getting high test scores. How do you handle pressure in school settings? And how much does that pressure come from other people, rather than yourself?
