Craig is a Music and Arts Management double major at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. Craig shares a humble origin with fellow Budde company members in Upstate New York—where the seeds of art were planted not too long ago and continue to be fostered today. Craig rarely misses an opportunity to make music and loves to mix the medium with other art forms. Shirley Dreaming marks Craig's first adventure in composing for musical theatre, as well as being musical director. Past composing credits include a score to the short film 7 Minutes in Heaven, written and directed by brother and fellow Apron member, Ty Budde.
