Spectral Sisters Productions (SSP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit developmental theater organization dedicated to cultivating original voices and bold creativity in community theatre. Founded in 2003, SSP has grown by developing playwrights, actors, directors, and theater technicians through instructional workshops and independent productions. In addition to regular workshops, our annual season culminates with our signature event, the themed Ten-Minute Play Contest & Festival — the only original playwrighting contest and festival of its kind in Louisiana, and one of only a handful in the Southeast. The 2026 season marks the debut of our Spectrum Series, launching with a readers theatre presentation of the acclaimed Broadway comedy Jaja's African Hair Braiding, written by Jocelyn Bioh.
