"what lies beneath"

Khe Sanh Bagman-

"Gritty Bagman ideal for those who want their dose of Daley politics". "Boys in the Valley is a teriffic little play". Chris Jones

"Author Leigh Johnson's insights into the bitter ironies of those troubled times are astutely illustrated and articulately expressed".

Mary Barnidge

One of "Five Plays to See Now", New City.

Lefties-

"The essence of this play is a father-son unable to communicate except thru baseball. The relatable parent-child and parent-adult child is the thought provoking stuff that engages on a monumental level".

Katy Walsh

A highly ambitious world premiere by promising playwright Leigh Johnson.

Chicago Theater Addict

Lotto Fever in the Sucker State-

"Everything about Lotto Fever has the feel of "community" because this is a feel-good loving and loveable homage to the life of small farmers with enough smart-alecky banter to keep you tittering right from the start".
