Each year we receive hundreds of submissions to be considered for further artistic workshopping at SparkFest. After narrowing down to 20 finalists, the artistic team selects at least 3 exceptional plays to nurture and support. Our playwrights team up with top-notch directors and actors in a week-long process that culminates in two public readings for audiences from nationwide, gathered in Fort Worth.
