  • Shaun Leisher: Brave People by Allan Staples

    A hilarious short play with a lot of heart. Staples has found humor in one of the hardest moments a couple may have to go through. I really hope all works out for these two.

    A moving and powerful two-hander about the impact of colonialism. Loved the relationship between these two brothers and how full of hope they can be. Loved the one-sided conversations between FEEM and Guillermo. I hope this play gets produced. A feast for actors.

  • Shaun Leisher: Bone by Bone by Sharifa Yazmeen

    This play is a gift to trans Arab women. Loved how time and space is played with here and how everything bleeds into each other by the end. What an ending. Would love to see this play produced. This is one that needs to be produced all over. At a time where trans lives are in danger, this is a play that needs to be seen. Wonderfully written characters that people will be talking about long after this play ends.

  • Shaun Leisher: Antigone's Sister by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    “

    A stunning take on the Antigone myth. A brutal exploration of how women were treated in Ancient Greece and how things have not changed that much. An ending full of hope. Would love to see this staged one day. Produce this play.

  • Shaun Leisher: R&B (Rhythm and Belchan) by Phanésia Pharel
    “

    A great play about abuse and how it thrives in the music industry. A play that shows audiences how vulnerable black girls are to predators in the spaces where they should feel the most powerful and creative. Loved how the music comes and goes in this play. A play with a really powerful ending that will start some much needed dialogue.

    I really loved this collection of short plays. This is a gift to college-aged actors. Houghton has written some really complicated characters and moving stories in such a short number of pages.

    A really funny and short ensemble play. Loved the dynamic of this group of people. Stalder brilliantly creates conflict among this friend group.

    A fun short play for two comedic actors. Loved how absolutely absurd this play is.
