If you have a classical theatre looking for some Halloween fare other than the Scottish play or Titus Andronicus, check out Leer. It delightfully draws from Shakespeare and transforms them into the most ghoulish creations.
Your audience will have so much fun discovering how they've all been incorporated.

Art should make us uncomfortable enough to question the status quo. This play uses physicality and movement to deliver a visceral examination of society. It is wrenching and a gut punch, but oh so effective. It would be a great addition to an evening of women+ or LGBTQA+ short plays. It would also be a great two-hander for college students studying movement-based theatre.

Wickedly biting political satire that pulls no punches. As good as any cold open you've seen on SNL!

Lyrical and poetic. Hauntingly romantic. There is almost a musical rhythm to this piece. It draws upon rich imagery and seems rooted to the earth with visceral connections to the land. Then you layer in the allegories and symbolism. And all that PLUS werewolves. It was a feast of prose!

Absolutely HILARIOUS! Breakneck pacing, sparkling dialog, great characters, and zombies. This should be on every theatre's list for Halloween fare!

I caught this show at Theatre Off-Jackson, produced by SIS Productions and Pratidhwani. It was so refreshing to see a romantic comedy filled with love and laughter. And then add to that the (sadly) too rare exploration of South Asian American and East Asian American relationships. There is a unique voice in this script that we have precious too little of. Something in the program notes that really struck home was how important it is, as an act of power, to present joy and comedy and this script delivers!

HILARIOUS! How to even describe this piece?? So meta as it uses all the tricks playwrights use to create a compelling story, while calling them out and using self-awareness as a comedic device. It has flavors of David Ives and "All in the Timing." A perfect piece for scene study (because this play LITERALLY breaks down what makes a great scene) or an evening of short plays!

What an opportunity for creative staging! I mean, sure, you could go literal, but I could also envision it with Bunraku, shadow puppets, movement, projection... My imagination fired up with all the possibilities! It would be a great piece for a night of horror, Halloween, or Grand Guignol.

A hilarious farce with all the flavors and delights of "Who's on First" wordplay! Fun characters, tons of physical comedy opportunities, and all under 10 minutes! Would make a great addition to an evening of short plays!

An adorable piece about what the newsworthy goats who have recently been taking over the Welsh villages might be thinking. A welcome non-downer covid-19 play!
