A spokesperson says---
“...The three-week festival will showcase over 60 new works, including musicals, plays, solo performances, storytelling, and dance. .
...This year marks the festival’s 20th anniversary. Originally launched as the New Works Series, the event has grown significantly since its inception—doubling in size and expanding to include genres such as dance, music, cabaret, drag, sketch comedy, and other boundary-pushing performances. Today, the Spark Theatre Festival NYC presents Spring and Fall festivals, showcasing over 100 new shows each year and giving more than 400 artists the opportunity to perform new work on stage.
During the festival, performances run nightly, with multiple performances on the weekends. 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..."
