  • Shaun Leisher: Follow the Fireflies (monologue)

    A monologue that feels like it could come from a fable or fantasy story but is a real punch in the gut the more you read and realize who this place is for.

  • Shaun Leisher: Duffel Bag (monologue)

    A short scene spoken directly to an audience of one about memory and how sometimes we need the memories themselves to help us remember.

  • Shaun Leisher: The Fourth Quarter

    This one act really made me feel like a fly on the wall as I watched the relationship between these four people unfold around fandom, politics and other issues. The moment of magical realism was wonderfully written and full of heart. We are given just enough information to understand the connection between CARLOS and TREVOR but still left questions I am happy to ponder. Love how this moment was broken by the joy that can only come when your favorite football team scores.

  • Shaun Leisher: lasting beauty

    Such an honest portrayal of how hard it can be to get support around mental illness from friends. This play was an intense read but I felt so much love in it by the end.

  • Shaun Leisher: when a whale falls

    Love how this play floats between conversations about science and the existential questions of life. I can see two actors really making a meal out of this short play.

  • Shaun Leisher: Another Goddamn Dystopian Play

    Obsessed with this idea of what a writer's workshop would look like during a zombie apocalypse. Biting humor that serves as perfect commentary of genre and who is able to write what stories.

  • Shaun Leisher: Roulette!

    Horrifying play that's filled with some pitch black humor.
