| FIREHOUSE NEW PLAYS Co-produced with Richmond Triangle Players The Sparkle Wars by Brendan Bourque – Sheil Directed by Lucian Restivo In a major city of the American South lies the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Memorial, where just about every type of American life is crammed into fifteen chaotic miles. When a group of Memorial High School Theatre students get the their production of The Laramie Project shut down by a book-banning school board, they decide to make their own piece of documentary theatre about the fight to get the play back, which takes them to the front lines of a culture war guaranteed to change their neighborhood and all of them with it. The Sparkle Wars is a mockumentary about how communities create and tell the stories that define them. November 8th, 2025 at 12p Sparkle Wars was developed in part through the Madison New Works Lab at James Madison University. |
