2023-24 Programs

The Spark offers a unique theater arts training experience centered around mentorship. All our productions and programs operate under this unique mentorship model, where adult mentors and students collaborate closely, training, rehearsing, and performing side-by-side.

Generally, our programs are recommended for students with some previous theater experience and who are 10+ years of age. For newer students or those ages 5-9 years, we recommend our Emerging Performers Company Program.

We invite you to explore our program model page and review our student qualifications and expectations before registering.

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece for 9 to 10 actors, who play more than 30 parts—friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys, scientists, consumer advocates, and myriad interested bystanders. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.

This class offers all young performers the opportunity to grow both in classes and onstage. As with all programs at The Spark these performers will benefit from a welcoming support structure where professionals and students perform side-by-side! -- Dates shown here are for our fall session: The Addams Family.
