The Ballad of Leslie

    The clever exchanges and light-hearted moments throughout the play will leave you smiling and uplifted. The witty dialogue and whimsical nature of the story would make for an engaging performance! Maybe, we all need a Jordan in our lives.

    What fun it must be to have your own chorus, if only for a day! I, for one, would relish the chance, if only to test them, to see if they can really know or keep up with my emotions (good luck with that!)
    Lisa gives us two wonderful characters, the annoyed and confused Leslie and the super enthusiastic Jordan, doing his best to brighten his clients day.
    Something tells me these two will have a great day together!

    So much fun! A clever slice-of-life short that is definitely cut from a fantastic place. Funny throughout, Lisa Feriend gives us a tale of a disappointed vacationer and a downsized chorus.
