Spark Theatre Festival NYC

Vincent Van Gogh’s ghost, dancing subway riders and Gloria Swansong’s drag follies converge on stage during Emerging Artists Theatre’s biannual Spark Theatre Festival NYC. Over 3 weeks, 60 new works will be showcased including 7 new musicals, 37 dance pieces, plays, solo shows and sketch comedy in various stages of development. Headlining the festival is the full length play OBSERVANT written by Pamela Weiler Grayson. OBSERVANT will receive 9 performances over the course of the festival and is directed by Shellen Lubin. During the festival, shows run nightly, with multiple shows on the weekend. Most productions receive one performance, with shorter shows grouped together to form a full evening of entertainment. Short talkbacks with the artists will follow some of the performances.
