  • Shaun Leisher: river phoenix fugue

    Love how unique and experimental this play gets. The lack of stage directions is a brilliant choice. It lets us focus on the poetic dialogue and leaves the possibilities endless for directorial choices.

  • Shaun Leisher: LEARNING HOW TO SQUIRT (Short Play)

    I really loved this one-act. So intimate and funny. A lot about sex is discussed in this play that we don't normally see in mainstream media. We need more plays that normalize honest discussions around consent and intimacy. Also loved that there is a sober character in this play.

  • Shaun Leisher: Three Scenes in the Life of a Trotskyist

    I really regret not seeing this when it was produced. Boyd brilliantly takes big ideas and organizes them in a way that crafters a wonderful character study. I hope this play gets done all over. Lots of questions are asked in this play. Do people ever really change? I want to see audiences all over grapple with this play and the well-written character of Lev.

  • Shaun Leisher: Color Boy

    A beautiful play about overcoming past trauma and learning how to take care of yourself. A celebration of the teaching profession and those that are called into it. Loved how the playwright experiments with time and memory in such an effective way. You won't get any easy answers out of this play but that's what makes it so brilliant. Hope to see this piece produced one day.

  • Shaun Leisher: Agape or; The Church Play

    A great play about faith and how ill-equipped the church can be when it comes to mental health. Loved how passionate these young characters are about their faiths. Was so moved seeing them struggle to figure out how to talk to God. Asante expertly blends the asking of big questions and intimate moments between friends. A great ensemble piece for Black actors.

  • Shaun Leisher: overgrown

    A fantastic ensemble piece for actors of a variety of ages. All these characters and their beliefs are so multi-faceted and layered. You just don't get to experience these types of perspectives on stage very often. Loved that this is a play that features a cast of character all with a common job and goal. A fascinating look at the unsung heroes that make elections happen safely and fair.

  • Shaun Leisher: Salutations, I'm Creative Dave

    I really loved this play. So weird and unique. Brasch wonderfully captures what a play written by AI would sound like. The ending was really moving.

  • Shaun Leisher: Happy Days Are Here (Again)

    A chilling play about the cost and necessity of speaking out against those in power. A play about abuse perpetrated by those young people should trust. This is a play that needs to be seen everywhere. A wonderfully written ensemble of characters. A great opportunity for older and younger actors to really dive into complex roles.

  • Shaun Leisher: Agent of Change

    A fun short play about making changes that impact our world. A lot of comedy is mined from this situation.

  • Shaun Leisher: The Squirrel Watchers

    A lot gets covered in this short play. We see how women deal with breakups and get to know a socially awkward character and her love of squirrels. I really felt for all these characters. Really well-written dialogue.
