Neal Leaheey
Neal Leaheey is a Rhode Island, USA based artist with a world perspective. After getting his BA in Theatre Arts at the University of Iowa, Neal honed his craft portraying everything from famous robber barons of the 1890s to giant heroic warrior rabbits and evil robots on stage. Ever since a lucky accident in an audition, he’s performed hundreds of improvised shows locally and around the US, Canada, Europe and the Middle East. Neal is also a RISCA teaching artist who has worked for years with high school students to integrate improvisation and storytelling into the public school curriculum.
