About the event
Join us for a workshop presentation of LEATHER DADDIES: The Musical by Scott Bradley and Mercy Bell.
Under the direction of Jess McLeod and Kory Danielson, an A-list cast of Chicago talent present selections from the new show. Following the concert, producers Jonny Stax and About Face Theatre host a reception to meet the creators and discuss what's to come for this exciting project.
Leather Daddies is a wild ride with legendary artist-lover-outlaws Dom “Etienne” Orejudos and Chuck Renslow as they lead a pack of leather-clad rebels through 1950s Chicago. Based on the biography Leatherman by Tracy Baim and Owen Keehnen. Producers Jonny Stax and About Face Theatre in partnership with Leather Archives & Museum bring these trailblazers to life in a musical experience honoring LGBTQIA+ power. This workshop is made possible with the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Arts Midwest GIG Fund.
