  • Shaun Leisher: Model Minority by Chloé Hung
    “

    A great play that looks at race in such a unique way. A play that explores race without white people and yet the white gaze is still very present. Filled with great roles for Asian-Americans and a black actor. Would love to see a theatre get brave and produce this play. This is definitely a conversation starter.

    A stunning ensemble piece about marriage. I need to see this produced. I need to experience the horrific moments Meaker has crafted. This must be a blast to work on with a cast hungry to create unique art with their bodies and voices. Someone produce this please!!

  • Shaun Leisher: Lavinia Andronicus Is YOUR Spin Instructor! by Jaden Tyler Urso

    Loved this riff on Shakespeare. The moments where Lavinia's words are being redacted are so powerful, as she is trying so hard to take back her narrative and life. I'd love to see how this would look full-out with lights, sound and special effects.

    I need to see this play produced. A play about a woman that people think they know. Love how this play travels through time to important moments in Monica's life with romantic and sexual partners. Monica is a killer role for any actress. Seriously, PRODUCE THIS PLAY NOW!!!!1

  • Shaun Leisher: WINNERS by Emma Goldman-Sherman

    This play features great roles for Jewish and neurodivergent actors. A wonderful play about dealing with grief and learning to forgive. This family is so messy but you can't help but be enthralled with their lives.

    A fantastic and rich monologue that actors and directors are hungry for.

    A scathing and brilliant look at reality television. Loved the dialogue and the dynamic between these characters.

    Loved getting to be a fly on the wall for this conversation. Great job at giving the audience context without overwhelming them with too much exposition.

    An excellent short play about the writing process and what it's like to be creatively blocked.

  • Shaun Leisher: Pivot by Alex Lubischer
    “

    A play that surprises readers from the start. A play about the way people deal with loss in different ways. Loved how this play depicts a rural community without using stereotypes. Would love to see this produced one day. It's a play that should be produced all over.
