career
Leigh Anne graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts in Musical Theatre, as well as a minor in Servant Leadership from LaGrange College in May 2019.
Since then, she has gained experience as an actor, musician, director, costumer, seamstress, stage manager, and dancer. Starting off with Missoula Children’s Theatre allowed her to experience a lot of the acting world in a small amount of time - ranging from travel, children’s theatre, teaching workshops, and directing, this contract was such a gift. Working at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire for four years has given her a proficiency with Elizabethan language and character improvisation. Working for Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys only furthered that passion for interactive theatre. Keeping guests entertained as a recreation host, pirate, and mermaid were all very different and required a lot of audience gauging to best tailor the experience for the unique constellation of personalities present at any given time! Moving then to Hersheypark’s Dark Nights added the new skill of scare acting. She strives to continue to learn and grow as an actor, adding as many new tools to her metaphorical tool belt as possible!

About the Actor
Leigh Anne is a 27 year old, 5’5” soprano living in Lebanon, PA. She is married to a lumberjack-looking superfan of The Office, with whom she has a black cat, boxer/blue heeler mix, and a collie/golden retriever mix. They are her world. Originally from small town Fitzgerald, GA, Leigh has been performing since she was three years old. She would dress up in her pink boa and sparkly purple skirt and put on a concert of her Britney Spears and *NSYNC cassette tape for her parents and adoring stuffed animals. She performed in church musicals and then landed her first “serious” role as Lucy in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown at age 13. From there? The only way was up, so that’s where she went - right into the role of Bearded-Bottle Dancer #2 in Fiddler on the Roof.
