The Bushwick Starr presents:
CUTE ACTIVIST
by Milo Cramer
directed by Morgan Green
Produced with New Saloon, in association with Clubbed Thumb
featuring David Greenspan, Deepali Gupta, Annie Henk, Elizabeth Kenny, Ronald Peet, and Madeline Wise
with Milo Cramer and Sebastian Pray
Cute Activist is a playfully fabulist, wildly satirical, anti-romantic comedy, that asks questions about the way activism fits – or doesn't fit – into our daily lives. In a spoOoOoky town in mythical Connecticut where inequality reigns, a shadowy ring of part-time activists battle a baroque, tyrannical Landlorde. Only True Love's Kiss can save the local economy.
