  • Shaun Leisher: Majnun

    What a magical play!!! Loved the parallel narratives and the subtle ways that they mirror each other. Could see this done with a huge budget or really DIY and scrappy. Either way I just want to see this play produced. Fantastic roles for Middle Eastern actors. I was so moved by the end.

  • Shaun Leisher: Motherland

    A really great play with wonderful roles for women of color. Loved how magical this play got. It's a play about what people will do to protect the ones they love.

  • Shaun Leisher: Keep Happy

    I really adored this play. A solo piece that intimately deals with mental illness. I'm amazed by the way Meghjee uses the framing device of a birthday celebration to discuss such personal issues. Loved the moments for audience interaction. This play is just so earnest. It made me love the art form of theatre and gave me hope for what's possible when we get real about our struggles on stage.

  • Shaun Leisher: Ophelia of Bicycles

    A fun and weird little play that skillfully blends pieces of literature.

  • Shaun Leisher: Aliyah and The Princess Jasmine Barbie Doll

    A great ten-minute play that explores themes of cultural appropriation, colorism and the meaning of one's home. Loved the fantastical elements of this play and how it's used to tackle some huge issues.

  • Shaun Leisher: Mr. Perfect isn't Persian

    A delightful, romantic comedy featuring people that don't get seen much on modern stages. It's amazing how Tiv can say so much about Persian culture and the dating world in so few pages. A really fun play that I'd love to see produced someday.

  • Shaun Leisher: Rage Play

    A fantastic play about gender and oppression. Loved the way reality is played with here. Loved how absurd this play gets. Loved how grounded this play was despite the moments of absurdity. A play that is going to spark so much needed conversation. Be brave and produce this play. Your community will thank you.

  • Shaun Leisher: cityscrape

    I loved this play. There is so much about the relationship between Kat and Kitt that feels like red flags but I still couldn't help but root for them in the end. A brilliant play about making art and trying to survive in New York City.

  • Shaun Leisher: Pearl's Beauty Salon

    A stunning piece of theatre about the history and current state of Hong Kong. Really moving characters and dialogue.

  • Shaun Leisher: Hockey Wives

    I really loved this play. An insightful into the lives of 5 girls that are defined almost solely by who they are dating. This play shows that they are all so much more. A play set in the 90s that explores things like consent and homophobia in such interesting and necessary ways. This is a play that will be produced all over. I really hope to see this play staged soon. Roles that will allow young actresses to really show off their talents.
