Leo grew up in small-town America, and if
you find the several pictures of them in their
father's suits... yes, give a little giggle for
queer youth everywhere.
A band geek and theory enthusiast at heart,
they often find themself collaborating in actor musician spaces. Guitar, ukulele, piano, drums, saxophone... on rare occasions, the triangle...
They play a little bit of everything and a
lot a bit of some things.
In 2022, Laura Leo won Orange County Theatre
Guild's "Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Musical" for their performance in Striking 12! at Chance Theater. In 2024, they received two
B. Iden Payne Award nominations for
Jack & Aiden and Always a Boy.
Good people. Good art.
