Providence RI::Headshots:: Leigh

You know how there is always at least one person in a classroom who doesn't speak very often, but when they do you know it's important?....yeah, that's Leigh. We actually did meet in a classroom and I was so drawn to her quiet brilliance that I just wanted to sit next to her every day and see if her ideas would rub off on me. She's quirky and unsure while at the same time incredibly grounded. She uses her hands, while wearing amazing rings, to try to figure out her thought process as she is talking and she shakes her head and says "Oh...I don't know, but what about: (insert something brilliant and thought provoking and timely and effortless") ...and then everyone in the class is better off because she spoke up. Leigh doesn't think she is an academic which is what makes her so approachable and funny and successful. Her one woman show: How to be a lesbian in 10 days or less is a fantastic self composed piece of theater which seamlessly weaves humor, personal biography and dance. I have seen it and loved it! She has already performed it in Boston and Providence and will hopefully continue to share it with the world. But on the flip side, Leigh is incredibly down to earth and speaks with passion about her love for Will & Grace, specifically her twin at heart Sean Hayes, and how she is obsessed with the Lifetime movie What Makes A Family...well, basically anything Cherry Jones will do...or Mary Louise Parker...or Sarah Paulson...Oh and lest I forget..."NO, her tattoo has nothing to do with the Ani Difranco song. Stop asking!"

Thanks for the fun, Leigh..and the sangria lunch...(shhh!) :)

Cheers, enjoy*
