  • The dialogue in this play is pure poetry. A unique take on the muse/artist relationship that I would love to see produced one day. A powerful challenge for adventurous creative teams. I would especially like to see what a sound designer and a make-up artist can do with this piece.

    There's a twist early on in this play that's absolutely brilliant. You just have to read this play and experience it. This is a play about fighting against the powers that be.

  • Shaun Leisher: THE LAST YIDDISH SPEAKER

    A play that pictures a world where being different (non-Christian and queer, for example) is a crime. A play about keeping one's heritage alive. I loved how fleshed out this world is and how complicated these characters are. It's a terrifying read with an ending full of hope and despair. This play couldn't be more relevant. Program this play and start some much needed dialogue.

    I really loved this ensemble piece. A play filled with complex female characters. A play about ambition and doing whatever it takes to do the thing that gives you purpose. I'd love to see this play produced someday.

  • Shaun Leisher: Florence Fane in San Francisco

    A well-researched and entertaining play. Frances is a great role for an actress. She's filled with so much wit and nuance. It might not have a "happy ending" but it has a truthful and hopeful one.

    A play about life and death. Loved the potential for an ensemble of any size. An exploration of many moments that a human lives through.

  • Shaun Leisher: Pageant Play

    A stunning coming of age story about a group of girls trying to figure out their places in life. Very funny at times and so authentic. A play about what it means to be a girl in a society that is so critical of them.

  • Shaun Leisher: Luca & Uri

    A great two-hander about two people that have different ideas about their future falling in love. Loved watching these two characters evolve and deepen over the years.

    A delightful play with damn good dialogue. It's a great reminder that sometime all you need to make good theatre is complicated characters talking to each other. A smart look at queerness and polyamory.

  • Shaun Leisher: Kara & Emma & Barbara & Miranda

    This play is filled with fantastic roles for women of various ages. Loved the rich monologues and this piece plays with form. This is a dream project for a director looking to make some unconventional theatre.
