Leigh has had the immense pleasure of working at dozens of local companies, including Aurora Theatre, Curran, Magic Theatre, New Conservatory Theatre Center, PlayGround, Playwrights Foundation, TheatreFIRST, and West Edge Opera. While Leigh wears many hats as a theatre-maker, much of their work and personal passion has been to shift the industry and its culture to be more equitable, inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. Leigh is an organizing member of a number of accountability and EDI groups to help further initiatives and policies to better support BIPOC and other artists of marginalized identities, and they recently completed the anti-racist train-the-trainer program, Making Good Trouble, becoming an anti-racist educator and facilitator. Leigh’s practice draws inspiration from liberation and abolition movements, transformative justice, adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy, trauma-informed care, and their experience as a sexual health educator and rape crisis counselor in order to create safe and supportive creative spaces.
