  • Shaun Leisher: Se Battre Pour L'Amour

    Makes a strong case for the questioning of gender roles being timeless. The friendship between these two is so well written. You understand what's at stake in this play when Thomasin is able to be their true self.

    A gut wrenching short play that takes a unique look at a shameful part of American history. A slightly absurdist commentary on the American Dream.

  • Shaun Leisher: Four Corners

    The use of colors in this play and how the plays connect to what the characters are saying are great. Can't wait to see what actors and designers could do with this play.

  • Shaun Leisher: Lily and Tessa's Super Star Show, Episode 37

    Hayakawa perfectly tells a complete story in so few pages. Expertly revealing information when and where needed. A powerful ending I will be thinking about for awhile.

  • Shaun Leisher: ABCD

    Great theatre has the power to shine a light on aspects on our world that need our attention. Morality is compromised in this play but I dare anyone watching to say for sure whether they would or would not commit the crimes in this play for the young people they are committed for. A brilliant play about our broken education system and the harm the model minority myth ravages on people no matter their age.

  • Shaun Leisher: ESCAPEGOAT

    This play is described as an eco-parable and I can't think of a better way to describe this genre. It's a play about the dangers facing species today while also feeling timeless. These characters are so well written and the ethical dilemmas being explored are so gut-wrenching.

  • A wonderfully unique play about art!! So engaged by the relationship between artist and work of art and work of art and audience. Fascinating conversations about "selling out" and gender presentation going on here too. A hilarious satire with a huge heart!!

  • Shaun Leisher: SHARON AND MELINA

    A magnificent work of art that deserves to be considered, alongside Angels in America and The Normal Heart, as one of the great works of theatre about the AIDS crisis. This play is filled with magical moments and heart-wrenching conversations about art, legacy and the deep love of friends and colleagues. Please produce this.

  • Shaun Leisher: Blanche & Stella: A Sequela

    By exploring the relationship of Stella Kowalski and Blanche DuBois through a modern, queer and disabled lens, Brenner has crafted a piece of theatre that deserves to be studied and produced alongside Streetcar. This play is a cry in support of a theatre that investigates the "classics" and not just keep them protected in wax museum productions. By centering BIPOC, queer and disabled actors, this play makes a case for not just inclusive casting of these older plays but re-writing them entirely.

  • Shaun Leisher: The Brothers Paranormal

    A brilliant ghost story about letting go of the people and places we lose. Can't wait to see this play fully produced.
