Leo grew up in small-town America, and if
you find the endless pictures of them in their
father's suits... yes, give a little giggle for

A band geek and theory enthusiast at heart,

"I prefer neurotic people. I like to hear rumblings beneath the surface." - Sondheim.

In 2022, Laura Leo won Orange County Theatre
Guild's "Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Musical" for their performance on drums in
Striking 12! at Chance Theater directed by
the SoCal loved Kari Hayter.
