Milo Cramer's CUTE ACTIVIST Extends Through February 3
by BWW News Desk - January 16, 2018
The Bushwick Starr presnts the world premiere of Cute Activist, a new play by Milo Cramer, directed by Morgan Green, and produced in collaboration with their exciting young company, New Saloon (Minor Character), in association with Clubbed Thumb.
