Leslie will be singing in a play that is part of the “V-to the Tenth” Weekend of events at the Superdome. She told us she was excited about blending her voice with the wonderful Michaela A. Harrison (who cut on of Leslie’s songs on her last CD- Just a Girl) and local singer/songwriter Gabrilla Ballard.

Anna Devere Smith

“Swimming Upstream” is a play focused on woman’s experiences in a pre, during and post Katrina New Orleans. We are pleased that Leslie and her voice have been invited to join the “V-Day” celebrations. Eve Ensler is working with the cast and crew to make this special play.
