The wait is over! Announcing SPARC's 2025-2026 Season: Write Your Own Ending What if someone told you that you could choose the outcome of your own story? What kind of ending would you write for yourself? What would you do to make sure you’re happy with the story you’ve told? This season’s shows emphasize the importance of authenticity in all things. The characters in these stories strive for their own happy ending by standing by their values. They choose to lead from a place of courage and compassion in the face of adversity, no matter how difficult that may be. From a fairground in limbo, to the steps of a palace; from the far reaches of space to the comfort of a favorite summer camp, this season is sure to inspire us to live authentically through stories we can be proud to share.
