Episode Details

New York: TheaterLab hosts Sean Casey Leclaire’s LEELA: Touching Our Better Selves, directed by Padraic Lillis. The limited presentation will run May 2 – 5 at TheaterLab (357 W 36th St, 3rd floor). 

Sanskrit for “divine play,” LEELA, combines classical sonnets, narrative poetry, stand-up comedy, and gritty townie storytelling to create a dimensionally rich transformative journey. LEELA: Touching Our Better Selves explores themes of mercy, stillness, lust, and power. The 75-minute solo show will challenge the depths of the chaos that we all deal with within our deepest selves.

"LEELA is a reflection of life's complex tapestry—its chaos, beauty, and the relentless focus of understanding and compassion. I am thrilled to share this personal piece with audiences because it's more than just a performance: it's an invitation to explore the depths of our humanity- to laugh, to cry, and ultimately, to touch our better selves. My hope is that each of us finds a mirror in 'LEELA'—a reflection of our complexities, our struggles, and our unparalleled potential for joy and transformation." – playwright/ performer Sean Casey Leclaire.

The creative team includes Katy Atwell (designer), Jonathon Millman (videographer), Cindy Murphy (visual art), Hugh McGinness (web design), Nicole Amaral (stage manager), Meg Gilbert (community outreach), and Laurel Hinton (associate producer).
