Present
 Leo
Staged Reading
Written by Rosa LaBorde
Director: Susan Einhorn
Set in 1973, Santiago Chile, Leo is the story of three young friends who form a bittersweet, love triangle. It explores the tensions from their maturing views on sexual identity, politics and art as their country collapses into fascism. Leo speaks to contemporary audiences also struggling to square their ideals in the world around them. This is the first U.S. reading for Leo.
