SPARKS! is a 60-minute romantic comedy for four actor-musicians: two people meet on a first date. They decide—perhaps recklessly—to write a musical together, and discover that their very different relationships with AI may be more complicated than falling in love. Hovering around them are two singing, playing (piano and small harp), and occasionally meddling waiters.
Underneath the comedy is a question: in a world that badly needs repairing, how much can two people—or four people in a little musical—actually do?
The show has already had several public performances in New York and New Jersey, and this October 21 presentation is a 29-hour developmental reading directed by Brian Lawton, with the focus now on tightening the storytelling and preparing SPARKS! for its next life.
Cathy Lawrence’s original musical SPARKS! will return to The Reverie Room for one day only on August 31, following a sold-out premiere earlier this year. The 60-minute one-act musical comedy will be performed at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM at the intimate Upper West Side venue.
