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.

Girls Really Listen to Me
From her Upper East Side bedroom, fifteen year old queen bee Madeline reigns over her group chats, doom scrolls, and gets ready for a night out that isn’t exactly what it seems. If you’re lucky, she might let you in on what’s really going on beneath the surface of her privileged world.

NOVA
Written and performed by Obehi Agbede, Nova follows a Nigerian-American artist whose hyperfixation on Italian provocateur Giacomo Casanova reveals her relationship to pleasure and power in surprising ways. Directed by Caitlin Sullivan.
