Finding Yourself Onstage – A Conversation With Kenny Leon

Think back to life before the web, when people wrote letters, and bought tickets from a person behind a window-to see a Picasso, you might have to go to the library or hop on a plane.

  Kenny Leon is the artistic director of True Colors Theater Company. He has lately been found as much behind the scenes on Broadway or behind a television camera, as in his theater. His Tony Award-winning production of A Raisin in the Sun and remake of Steel Magnolias for the Lifetime Network are just a few of his recent occupations.

Before looking ahead with Kenny Leon, we took a moment to reflect on the founding of True Colors Theater in 2002.
