Milan Dragicevich has performed with numerous nationally recognized regional theater companies, including the Hartford Stage, the Oregon Shakespearean Festival in Ashland, and the Pasadena Playhouse, as well as a ten-year stint with the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum in Los Angeles, where he earned a L.A. Dramalogue Critics Acting Award for his portrayal of Richard III. 

He is the author of the award-winning play, Milosevic at the Hague, produced by the Serious Play! Theatre Ensemble and featured at the Joakim Interfest international theater festival in Serbia.  This adventurous play, which explores the intoxication of power, opened to critical acclaim at A.P.E. Window in Northampton, MA.
Dragicevich is interested in wakeful, vibrant, compelling theater, where the spoken word intersects with dynamic physicality and movement, live music, bold design, and an arresting story.  A member of the Northeast Shakespeare Ensemble, he has recently completed a book on the contemporary actor’s use of “electric” language in the theater.
