Sparks in the Park
by Noble Mason Smith
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).
