Speaking from first-hand experience is a narrative style that’s the hallmark of many 21st-century art forms. In this episode of Spark<\/b>, see how Bay Area artists are making the form uniquely theirs.<\/p>\n

Begin with the kind of stories that won’t put you to sleep as you’ll discover with Porch Light<\/b>, a monthly revue in which storytellers walk an emotional tightrope on stage, spilling their guts in front of a live audience.<\/p>\n

In our second story, visit students at Tamalpais High School<\/b> who are learning the fine art of documentary theater, a form that now dominates American drama. We follow their production from first interview to finished performance as they document the history of protest in the Mill Valley community.<\/p>\n

Finally, we’ll go backstage with comedian and actress Marga Gomez<\/b> as she workshops a new one-woman show based on her experiences growing up in an ambitious show-biz family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
