Self-Conchas is an original bilingual play for young audiences (ages 10 and up) about a San Diego we think we know, and the San Diego we really live in. Meet Concha, Shelly, and Consuelo: three soon-to-be sixth graders in the South Bay. Separately, middle school can seem like a scary thing to get through. Together, they discover that it’s even harder to navigate middle school in 2018. In an exploration of immigrant stories, changing hormones, and new friendships, Self-Conchas invites you into the San Diego that they grow into; the San Diego that feels like family.
