Conch Shell Productions And HB Studio To Present THE GAME As Part Of CSP New Works Fest 2025
Performances take place December 5–6, 2025 at HB Playwrights Theatre.
Conch Shell Productions, in partnership with HB Studio, will present THE GAME as part of Program B of the CSP New Works Fest 2025. The sci-fi one-act will be performed on December 5 at 7:00 p.m. and December 6 at 5:30 p.m. at HB Playwrights Theatre, located at 124 Bank Street in New York City. The production is written and directed by Jamaican playwright and director Jessica Betty.
THE GAME follows Elizabeth, a student at an elite academy whose alcoholism collides with the news of her impending expulsion. Guided by Q, a robot assigned to support her, she attempts to make sense of her circumstances through a mixture of dependency, programmed logic, and self-reflection. The play examines ambition, sacrifice, and the evolving relationship between individuals and technology.
The cast features Isabel Guastella and Zoraya Inguanzo. The creative team includes playwright and director Jessica Betty, stage manager Kyanna Flavius, and set and prop designer Isis Edwards.
Betty is a Jamaican playwright, actress, director, filmmaker, and sound designer currently pursuing a BFA at The New School. Her work spans theatre and film, including performances in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Gloria and contributions in sound, lighting, and production support across numerous independent film projects. She is presently in pre-production for her debut film Petagonia.
