About Neal: Neal Leaheey is a Rhode Island, USA based artist with a world perspective. After a lucky accident in an audition, he’s been fortunate to improvise around the US, Canada, Europe and the Middle East. He is a teaching artist who has worked for years with high school students to integrate improvisation and storytelling into the public school curriculum. 

As a teacher, he works to access the personal truths held by people and deepen the connection performers have to each other and the audience. He is currently both a performer/teacher at Kismet Improv, an Ensemble member at The Contemporary Theatre Company and a member of The Booboisie, a clowning ensemble at The Wilbury Group. With a special interest in using Johnstone-based ideas about improvisation to devise new works of theatre, Neal creates works that challenge ideas about gender, status and access the supernatural forces around us to explore our own personal narratives.
