KW Little Theatre Presents: Listen Leslie

Leave a comment

A show from the entire ensemble, Listen, Leslie is anybody’s story.

Anybody who has ever struggled with control over their life.

Anybody who has ever doubted their fate.

Anybody who has ever forgotten to have fun.

Anybody who has ever been afraid to live.

Leslie, a young, strong-willed woman who has got her entire life planned out for her fails to realize that sometimes life is not that simple. Fate interferes with Leslie’s well planned life as she unravels into a maddening journey of acceptance and self-discovery.

Follow the ensemble’s own journey by following our blog or facebook and witness the birth of a show.

Life’s a circus. Do you have your ticket?
