Emerging Artists Theatre (EAT) returns with its first Spark Musical Theatre Festival NYC, allowing composers and librettists to present where they are in their creative process as a work-in-progress with audience feedback. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, talents, and voices. That's never been more evident than now.
