Alex and Olmsted: Milo the Magnificent at the Clarice, May 10

Alex and Olmsted: Milo the Magnificent at the Clarice, May 10

The University of Maryland and the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center present:
Alex and Olmsted: Milo the Magnificent
Saturday, May 10, 2025 • 11AM & 1PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

Alex and Olmsted are proud to introduce you to Milo, an aspiring magician with a big heart and maybe a tiny bit of stage fright. Milo’s magic may not always turn out quite the way he plans it, but audiences of all ages are guaranteed to fall in love with this charmingly innovative puppet show. Performed as a wordless comedy, Milo the Magnificent evokes the spirit of vaudeville and childhood dreams of stardom while offering chills, thrills and unbelievable spectacle for the whole family, all in under an hour! Alex and Olmsted is a resident company at Baltimore Theatre Project and was awarded the 2020 State Independent Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts Council. Their programs have been named as an official selection of the Maryland Film Festival, supported by the Jim Henson Foundation, and joyfully reviewed by The New York Times.
