  • Shaun Leisher: Father Hates Social

    Such a funny short play about parent/children relationships and technology. Love the details about how much importance we put on things like friend requests.

  • Shaun Leisher: Daisy Violet the Bitch Beast King

    A wonderfully weird play about women owning their voices with a final scene that really packs a punch.

  • Shaun Leisher: Friendship Coma

    A hysterical one act with great roles for an all female cast. The playwright really nails the absurdist comedy and beautifully satirizes the "idea of having it all" as women.

  • Shaun Leisher: HORNS

    This is a gripping piece of theatre that brilliantly uses body horror as an allegory for how women are not believed, especially by doctors. This play really digs into the risks and confusion that falls on women when it comes to birth control. This is a play that will educate but more importantly it should anger.

  • Shaun Leisher: Bury Me

    This is the post-Trump play we need. It's a "living room drama" written by a non-white male where characters get to be messy and women don't solely exist to prop up the male characters. It's a beautiful depiction of the conversations so many of us had with our families after the 2016 election and how so many of us tried to reconcile our faith and the place for the ones we loved in such a divisive time. For any theatre considering programming yet another production of an O'Neill, Miller or Williams, please consider this one instead!!

  • Shaun Leisher: Harpers Ferry 2019

    This play is sooooo timely!!! Bring this to your theatre and make white liberals ponder over how they often take over the fight for justice and how their good intentions doesn’t outweigh misguided actions. Brilliant setting!!!

  • Shaun Leisher: Amelia Franchesca Amador: The Space Cow Boy

    I absolutely loved how much imagination and heart fills this play. Can't wait to see an uber creative director and actor take on this piece.

  • Shaun Leisher: Oh We Gon Slay

    This almost feels like a superhero origin story and I really want to see more of Greta as she goes to fulfill the promise she makes at the end of this play!!!

  • Shaun Leisher: Synchronicity

    This play is basically an attempt to answer the whole meaning of life question but it's done in such an interesting way. It's a play that shows how tragedy can connect and cause bonds to form. Wonderful play with great roles for women of various ages.

  • Shaun Leisher: Deux Femmes on the Edge de la Revolution

    The sex and violence are palpable on every page of this play. It's a play about slavery that in no way sets out to make audiences (especially white audiences) feel comfortable. It makes you confront an awful part of history that still has repercussions today and asks questions that need to be considered during any period of revolution. Where are the companies with the courage to produce an epic piece of theatre that feels so of the moment? Love how the playwright refuses to shy way from unique production elements that could be complex or simple but require great imagination.
