  • Shaun Leisher: Grace and Janette Like White Guys

    A hysterical buddy comedy that explores issues around identity and racism. I am so glad that plays like this exist and voices like Sarah Cho's are around to make us face some uncomfortable truths.

  • Shaun Leisher: Kung Flu Zombie

    The horror genre is always at its best when it's satirizing current anxieties. Cho has crafted a play will fill a theatre with the perfect blend of laughs and screams and will make white people shift uncomfortably in their seats. This is the play that needs to hit stages when it's time to look back on anti-Asian racism that came with COVID-19.

  • Shaun Leisher: Married to Time

    We have all seen tv shows and movies about time travel and even ones about time travelers that are married but we rarely get to see what the domestic struggles are like for the time travelers and their spouses that don't have superhero abilities. Cho gives us such a unique fly on the wall view of this couple's lives and reveals just enough information about this time travelers abilities to give us a grasp on the stakes. This play isn't about saving the world and the space time continuum but just trying to make a relationship work.

  • Shaun Leisher: Why I'm Leaving You (a monologue)

    "You are so wrapped up in yourself I am not sure whether, when we part, I will be kissing your mouth or your
    asshole. You are pornography. The kind you have to pay for." Fucking genius.

  • Shaun Leisher: Wherever You Go

    I feel like we see a lot of sci-fi stories where people lose loved ones to alien abduction so few show what happens when the lost briefly return. The end of this left me speechless. Can't wait to see adventurous sound and lighting designers get their hands on this one.

  • Shaun Leisher: When I was a Child

    This one minute was a complete punch to the gut. Brilliant commentary on how children play in a world where protecting the rights of gun owners is more important than protecting their lives.

  • Shaun Leisher: Variations on the Death of Vera

    Definitely thought this would just be a ghost story but was pleasantly surprised by its transformation into a poetic movement piece. So much room for theatre magic here.

  • Shaun Leisher: In the Blood

    These are the moments we don't often get to see in stories about the zombie apocalypse and when we do it's never with this much heart.
