We believe that theatre and film can and should have a lasting impact and provoke social change. CSP is a writer focused company that encourages collaborative process among creatives, and recognizes that we are creating art that speaks to our audiences rather than down to them. We support and collaborate with Caribbean Diaspora and Caribbean writers who share our vision and our passion for innovative storytelling that questions and deconstructs existing conceptions of their culture and the art form by owning and sharing their narrative. We also create an accessible platform for dialogue between diverse audiences and artistic communities.
