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.

BLUDLINE: A Hip-Hop Odyssey
BLUDLINE: A Hip-Hop Odyssey, co-written by Fermin Suero Jr. and Pete White, reimagines Homer's epic through live Hip-Hop and R&B as Trojan War hero Odysseus battles monsters and temptations to reach home, while his son Telemachus must find his own strength in the shadow of a father who may never return. BLUDLINE is a recipient of the 2026 Richard Rodgers Award, a Rhinebeck Writers Retreat, Drama Club Camp DRAFTS reading series, a Pipeline Arts Foundation Grant, and will be featured in the 2026 NAMT Festival. Their debut single invincible is out now with Joy Machine Records.

The One-Man Odyssey
A missing father, a tricky mother, and a son fighting for his life against a community gone rancid… only a clever, fierce goddess can right a world turned so upside down. This version of book 2 of Homer's Odyssey is created and performed in Ancient Greek by Joseph Medeiros as part of his lifelong journey to stage the entirety of the poem as an epic, 24-hour solo performance in the original language.
