A cross-generational look at wealth – who has it and why?
By Milo Cramer
Directed by Matt Torney
Winner of the 21st annual Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition, Business Ideas is a comedy about getting rich. In a too-cute café, a desperate mother and daughter brainstorm get-rich-quick schemes to pay for college (or maybe to make ends meet?), while their hapless server tries to network with a revolving cast of customers (hilariously played by one actor). Inspired by playwright Milo Cramer’s own experiences with his enterprising mom, Business Ideas offers a cross-generational perspective on wealth – who possesses it and why – and examines the value placed on it. The production is directed by Matt Torney, Artistic Director of Theatrical Outfit.
