  • Shaun Leisher: no one tells you that senior year is the worst fucking year of your life

    An excellent one act about grief, queerness and what it's like to be a teenage girl. Loved the movement scenes and all that is said in them with no dialogue. Callahan does a great job at making these characters complicated. Fantastic roles for queer actors.

  • Shaun Leisher: Pay Your Ferryman

    A fun piece of choose-your-own-adventure theatre. Such a creative use of ancient mythology to comment on the state of labor workers in our society. This piece must be a blast to act in and direct.

  • 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: YELLOW MIRRORS

    A wonderfully ambitious play about two sisters' upbringing by immigrant parents. Loved the use of puppets and the part they play on the sisters' journey to healing. A play about the literary world and what it means to tell the "real" story. I really hope this play is given chances to continue to be developed and that it gets produced in the near future.

  • Shaun Leisher: YELLOW DREAM$

    A wonderful satirical look at Hollywood and it's quest to bring "Asian stories" to the big screen. Loved how wild this play got by the end. An insightful look at one person's journey to "make it" in the entertainment industry.

  • 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!!
