Highlights
Why we like it
"'Sparks in the Park' ignites the imagination with stories that celebrate connection, growth, and the beauty of new beginnings."
From: Spring Showcase ScriptsSynopsis
Winner of the Young Playwrights Festival sponsored by the Dramatists Guild, Sparks in the Park is about a neurotic teenager trying to write a play for The New York Young Playwrights Festival.
The young writer can't see that his own relationships are far more interesting than his lame efforts at stagecraft: ridiculous attempts to emulate talented writers like Woody Allen, Sam Shepherd and, alas!, Shakespeare.
The play was, in fact, written by a neurotic teenager and entered in the New York Young Playwrights Festival (which it won).
