  • Shaun Leisher: Weekdays on the Blue Line

    A beautiful play about a relationship between two people that only know each other from their daily commutes. A perfect slice of life piece that has some meaningful things to say about aging and dealing with grief.

  • Shaun Leisher: Oñgwehoñwe’

    Moses brilliantly dramatizes a historic moment. My attention was grabbed from the first page to the very end. Moses is able to tell a complete and moving story in so few pages. A great piece for Indigenous actors and directors.

  • Shaun Leisher: Uhuru

    A stunning play about white saviorism and not knowing where you are truly from. These characters are so well-written. I need to see this play produced. Would love to see what a set designer can do with a piece like this. I was very moved by Sprite's journey throughout the play.

  • Shaun Leisher: Deep In Shallow Water - You'll Drown if you Don't Keep Your Head Up

    I really love how everyone talks in this play. It's simple dialogue that still feels poetic. The overturning of Roe V. Wade serves as a backdrop for a story of a group of women who all made different choices in their life. A play about an epic issue, told in such an intimate way.

  • Shaun Leisher: let's talk about anything else

    What a wonderful play about messy human beings. Definitely didn't see that ending coming. An ensemble piece about the complexities of human relationships and the power grief can have over us. A horror play that goes to some really twisted places. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters and witnessing the different ways they mourned their friend. I hope this play gets produced.

  • Shaun Leisher: TRILOGY

    A group of friends bonded together through a shared love of a piece of pop culture. I really loved this play and all the poignant questions it raises. Questions that will be rolling around in my brain for a long time. We need to think about things like what to do when creators of art we love prove to be problematic. Another thing this play explores is the possibility for people to change. I'm going to be thinking about this play for awhile. Bravo!!

  • Shaun Leisher: Wedding Day on Guantánamo Bay

    An intimate and tender moment surrounded by so much pain and suffering. A short play that talks about huge issues like immigration and the AIDS epidemic in such a relatable way.

  • Shaun Leisher: My Ugly Kid

    A delightful short riff on Beowulf. Loved the direct address moments and how absurd this play gets.

    A short and poetic play that explores the psyche of a woman on the verge of changing her life.

  • Shaun Leisher: Nude Perfect

    A really great short play about our society's obsession with stereotypical beauty. In such a small number of pages, this play says a lot about the role AI plays in our world. Really great character study.
