Happy Thursday,
Local Latin American artists and others from across the country come together in Fort Worth’s Near Southside to share their stories — and you’re invited to learn about their experiences.
Amphibian Stage’s weeklong SparkFest — founded in 2021 — kicks off tomorrow to spotlight Latin American communities through theater, stand-up comedy, poetry and an acting competition. The festival also features three new plays and a vendor market across the street at the South Main Micro Park.
