Seth Numrich, Kathryn Erbe, et al. Set for SPARKHAMPTON, 6/25

HardSparks, a New York City-based theater company, will present first in a series of site-specific performances of new plays to take place in Southampton. SparkHampton: The Wickapogue Plays will feature work by Crystal Skillman (Cut, Wild), J.Stephen Brantley (Eightythree Down, Blood Grass), and Daniel Talbott (Slipping, Yosemite), who will also direct the three pieces.

For this first venture, Hard Sparks has teamed with fashion stylist Irene Albright, who will host the event at her Southampton home. The exact address for the event will be revealed to attendees when they purchase their tickets.

SparkHampton: The Wickapogue Plays features J.Stephen Brantley, Kathryn Erbe, Brian Miskell, Seth Numrich, and Jelena Stupljanin.

The idea for SparkHampton: The Wickapogue Plays was birthed when frequent collaborators J.Stephen Brantley and Daniel Talbott discussed Brantley’s Southampton home, which he shares year-round with Associate Producer Robert M. Lohman. Brantley and Talbott loved the idea of bringing new work to Southampton, which is known for its local productions of revivals and readings. They also enlisted Crystal Skillman, one of the hottest indie playwrights today with productions in Chicago, London and New York, as well as Indie Theatre Now, the online publishing outpost of New York Theatre Experience, Inc. It will publish the entire series of plays.

“Hard Sparks is about presenting daring, innovative work, ” said Hard Sparks co-founder J.Stephen Brantley. “I look forward to teaming with playwrights like Crystal Skillman and Daniel Talbott to bring bold new plays to some of the most beautiful and inspiring places on the East End.”

Tickets to SparkHampton: The Wickapogue Plays on Monday, June 25th at 7:30 pm are $40 and include the performance, food and drinks. To purchase in advance, visit www.HardSparks.com or https://www.artfullyhq.com/store/events/238.
