  • Shaun Leisher: LASTHUNTER

    Great opportunity for playing with stage magic. It's an action-packed play that holds deep conversations about nostalgia and ethics. We are brought into this world without deep explanations about how the science works and we don't need it at all. There are scenes and passages of dialogue in this play that will keep you thinking long after you have read/seen this play.

  • Shaun Leisher: Chicken Is Condemned To Be Free

    A short play with a unique concept that goes to some really deep places. I loved the existential themes these characters take on as they face something that we all have to face one day.

  • Shaun Leisher: exceptional

    Stop what you're doing right now and ask Mak to send you this play!!! Mak has crafted a stunning look into the world of beauty pageants that is also a fascinating character study and a damn good mystery play. The use of the Chorus is inspired and I loved the way gender and sexuality is portrayed in this world. Memories blend into present day beautifully as we join these characters as they reflect on where they've come and the great things they are heading towards.

  • Shaun Leisher: WHEN THE EARTH MOVES, WE DANCE

    An action packed play that I can not wait to see fully staged. Diaz-Marcano does a great job of familiarizing the audience with the myths and folk tales in this play without dumbing anything down for readers like me that are not fluent in Spanish or familiar with Puerto Rican history. The way gender and sexuality is explored here is so compelling. It's a love letter to Puerto Rico, a reflection on history and a beautiful fable all wrapped up into one moving piece of theatre.

  • Shaun Leisher: The Puritans

    A really fun one act that utilizes the zoom medium to chilling effect.

  • Shaun Leisher: ASS2MOUTH

    Just when I thought Haygen-Brice Walker couldn't possibly dive deeper into the corners of depravity in the human psyche he somehow proved me wrong. Fever dream is the best way to describe this play and so many others by Walker. Reading it on the page produced so many emotions that it made me so excited to have them heightened when I see this onstage. This play needs to be produced. Audiences need to be made uncomfortable by this play. Artists need to push themselves past their limits of decency and what is proper in theatre. STOP BEING COWARDS!!!

  • Shaun Leisher: Black Girl Joy

    A play that constantly (and brilliantly) breaks the fourth wall and blends performance styles to tell the stories of these women and their bond together. An homage to the strength of Black women and sisterhood.

  • Shaun Leisher: true believer

    Hehir is fantastic at capturing the average work day feeling in a setting that means so many different things to so many different people. An ending that I won't soon be forgetting.

  • Shaun Leisher: Magical Girl Play

    A play about adulting and living with the ambiguity of life. A fight between good and evil that asks us to consider what good and evil is and if life is worth living with only good. Kuperschmid has crafted a play that works as a bad ass feminist action story while also being a deep meditation on existential themes. So excited to see these fights fully staged too!!

  • Shaun Leisher: The Ace Ish: An LGBTQIAce Revue

    This completely feels like an adaptation of a zine. It's so visceral and messy in the best ways. Anyone coming into this expecting to fully understand what asexuality is will be very disappointed but what you'll get is a kaleidoscopic look into the life of a brilliant human being.
