Leo At Yeshiva
Leo at Yeshiva
by Emma Horwitz
A new play about a delousing salon in park slope owned by an Orthodox Jewish family, and three women who are ferociously feeding their hairiest dreams while swimming in tubs of Pantene.
Playwright Emma Horwitz
“This play features a dark, sexy, sharp, opaque world in the best of ways, sucking the reader in. LEO AT YESHIVA juxtaposes ambition, sexuality, faith and love in a manner that delivers incredible roles for actors.”
