ArtSpot Productions

ArtSpot Productions creates original, multidisciplinary performances that illuminate the painful truths and joyful triumphs of the underheard in order to catalyze collective healing and a more just society. In 2026, we'll be celebrating our 30th anniversary of art-making and working in the community. Your support this year will help guide our planning and ambitions for next year!

We produce professional works of original, devised theater; serve incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women; partner on environmental and climate justice projects in Louisiana; and work with multiple organizations in various sectors to transition Louisiana away from its dependence on extractive industries and to create an equitable community where all can thrive.

The LCIW DRAMA CLUB has served as a creative healing space for women incarcerated at The Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women since 1996, producing dozens of original performances and directly serving hundreds of participants.

THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS (as Told by Grandmother to Little Red) is a performance-based outreach project in collaboration with St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church and its Center for Faith + Action that uses the story of Saul's "conversion experience" as a call for an awakening to the role the church has played in creating and sanctifying the United States' inequitable criminal legal system. The piece has been presented in New Orleans and has toured to churches and community centers across Louisiana and beyond.

Testimonials

ArtSpot explores the under-roots and overtones of our land, lamentation, and love. As an audience member, I become participant; every performance draws out the questions, characters, and secret truths already living in my heart and brings their wide-eyed bodies into emotional, song-rich dialogue with me. I never leave unchanged; the ground itself ripples newly; one gesture at a time, the world transforms.
