Matchbook Spark Vol. 4: What Would Meryl Do? X The Disappearing Act tickets

About Matchbook Spark Nights
Each volume of Matchbook Sparks pairs two exciting new works in development, giving audiences the chance to discover bold new voices and experience the creative process in action.

What Would Meryl Do
Neal Lerner is a lovable but desperate man in a small upstate town who decides to teach a class on how to live like Meryl Streep — because why not? Playing every character, he delivers a wildly funny, slightly unhinged story that’s part masterclass, part meltdown, and entirely heartfelt. Based on a true story (except for the parts that are completely made up), this sharp and surprising comedy explores identity, survival, and the courage to take center stage in your own life.

The Disappearing Act
Join the team behind the upcoming film Disappearing Act for an evening of live comedy and mentalism. Comedian Sarah Adelman and mentalist Vinny DePonto share the stage, their acts weaving in and out of conversation with each other as they explore what stand-up and mentalism share. Directed by Kim Blanck, the evening builds on the themes of the trio's upcoming film, including love, loss, and the ability to navigate change. Expect a night that will make you laugh, think, and walk away with a sense of wonder! Expect a night that will make you laugh, think, and walk away with a sense of wonder!
