Had a blast playing ARIEL for a second time! Always learning! I never got over singing a duet with Theatre legend, Mark Jacoby - or getting to dance it out with the glorious KEN PAGE! Grateful to work with Matt Lenz (@magicmattlenz) again - as director of another swell cast of performers and collaborators.
Gen Z noir horror-comedy is now a thing!! Great direction by Joe Boothe. Hot writing and producing team! Alex Vaughan is today’s charming everyman. I am clearly scary - nominated for Best Actor (SHORT) - ACTION ON FILM & WE ARE INDIE HORROR 2018!

I had the great pleasure to work on a new play by Julia Doolittle - LOVE & CONTRACTS! Wonderful actors, gracious smart staff AND fancy (but still hilarious) director Moritz Von Stuelpnagel!
Danny Whitman and Robert Bartley are the co-creators and directors of this ambitious original piece. What an honor and a challenge to play Lucille Ball in this premiere at Eisemann Center in Dallas.
“Dance With Me” with STORM LINEBERGER as Desi Arnaz and LESLIE STEVENS as Lucille Ball
“Played with hard-as-nails resilience by Leslie Stevens, the Lucille Ball of this musical ... does whatever it takes to get her name in lights - When skirt-chasing Arnaz falls in love with her, she responds with defensive and sometimes hilarious cynicism...
- her greatest moment [is] as a Buster Keaton-style clown... Stevens portrays winningly at the pivotal moment in the show”
GRUMPY OLD MEN the Musical - US Premiere @ Ogunquit Playhouse!
This show magically found me and I had a great ride on a flippin’ SNOWMOBILE!!! I learned so much. Got to play onstage with Ed Dixon, sing a duet w Mark Jacoby, be amazed by Hal Linden and Sally Struthers, enjoy B’way divas - Brenda Braxton, Laura Woyasz, Kevin Massey and Doug Eskew. Lived the month of August in charming Ogunquit MAINE! The theme/meme became - PUT ON YOUR PARKA & GET BACK OUT THERE!! #lifeisallaboutlivin
“Ariel arrives ... riding a snow-mobile with her red hair blowing in the wind singing Heat Wave - Ms. Stevens gives her character the depth that she deserves.”
“Leslie Stevens is perfectly cast as Ariel. ”
What an amazing and surreal opportunity to perform with the USA contingent from Montana (Rocky Mountain Ballet Theatre) at the First festival to honor Russian folk music icon, Alfia Avzalova!! I sang IN the TARTAR Language!! Or at least - really tried!
Kazan and Moscow, both incredible cities.

"The performances of the three principle actors of the film are in a word ‘stunning’. Randy Wayne and Trilby Glover ... are off set by the chilling and utterly creepy performance by Leslie Stevens in her role of The Otherworldly being who comes upon them in the night. All three of these actors put in such powerful performances that you will quickly become entirely immersed in the story and hang on to the edge of your seat..."
Hilarious - in the painful (almost your Life) kinda way. Great group. LOVE wearing antlers!!
This beautiful and unusual play by Lauren Gunderson, explores the lives of ground-breaking women scientists who join the emerging corp of women working in the "computing" room of Harvard Observatory in 1905. I was honored to learn about these women and portray a piece of their story. Grateful for wonderful colleagues again at ICT.
