Leta Levy

Bechdel project

My proposal for a one woman show became a Semi-Finalist for the Roo Residency at the Bechdal Project. A prestigious residency for writers, including writing space, a trip to Germany, and a final reading at the end of the year.

The Animals

Written by Amina Henry, Directed by Gretchen Van Lente

At JACK, June 30th - July 9th

The New York Times said, "Sasha, Leta Renée-Alan (Leta Levy), is one of five joyously individual schoolteachers at Peabody Elementary who gather in the teachers’ lounge in Ms. Henry’s engaging one-act at Jack... It seems that Ms. Renée-Alan (Ms. Levy) has been directed by someone else entirely (maybe Lorne Michaels). Emotionally, she occupies a different universe but has to live and work with these earthlings." -Anita Gates

The Place we built

Written by Sarah Gancher, Directed by Danya Taymor

At The Flea Theater, April 14th - May 30th

L&SA said, "Standouts include Leta Renée-Alan (Leta Levy) as Aniko, who comes to resent always being the adult in the room." -David Barbour

The New York Times said, “the show pulses with…defiant idealism.”
