OUR MISSION

At Conch Shell Productions (CSP), our mission is to infuse new Caribbean-American and Caribbean Diaspora voices into the American theater and film industry.  To do so, we create a space to develop, workshop and produce new plays and screenplays.


We believe that art can and should provoke social change. Our productions create an opportunity for diverse audiences to explore and celebrate the unique culturally diverse voices of our community of artists.


Our seasons include both readings and full productions of new short  and full-length plays.  Our presentations include Hear Her Call Caribbean-American Women's Theater Festival, Conch Shell New Works Series,  Reset Series and #Bluelightseries.


Conch Shell Productions is a Queens, New York-based, fiscally sponsored organization, and a member of  the Alliance of Residence Theatres/NY.
