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.
Bi
"Bi" - a one woman comedy about being biracial, bisexual, and bipolar. (Like being in every diversity category at once and still feeling like you’re getting the paperwork wrong.) Blending stand-up, storytelling, character work, multimedia, and music, Jetta Juriansz unpacks identity, mental health, queerness, race, and the lifelong confusion of trying to fit a whole person into one tiny, checkable box.
