  • 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.

    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.

    I loved this short play. An eerie ghost story with a twist ending that I definitely didn't see coming.

    A stunning play about modern relationships. This play really got me thinking about the different things men and women want when it comes to love and their own personal ambitions. This play will definitely get audiences talking. Produce this play!!

    This play went places I really wasn't expecting. A play about two lost individuals that for a time feel comfort in each other. A play that asks if it's possible to make amends for terrible things we've done. This is one I'm gonna be thinking about for a long while.

    Such a fast-paced play about a job that not many people think about. Really admire Moench's writing in this play. Was fascinated seeing the toll this job takes on Mary and her mental health. This is a play that will definitely start some conversations.

    A wonderful play about how hard it can be to overcome loss. A play about the power of art and the horrors of racism. A play filled with music and poetic language. Loved the dialogue in this play and how it gives voice to people that aren't seen enough on our stages. Produce this play!!
