Daring performances of dangerous plays.
HARD SPARKS champions the work of promising early- to mid-career actors and playwrights. In its first eighteen months, Hard Sparks worked with twenty-two actors, three playwrights, four directors, and six designers on four productions in five venues. In creating Hard Sparks, co-founders J.Stephen Brantley and Robert M. Lohman set out to present daring performances of dangerous plays that might not otherwise be heard. Hard Sparks is committed to producing challenging new works, to maintaining the dignity of theatre artists, and to partnering with local community-based organizations to improve people’s lives.
