The Lesser Leyendecker
Written by Arianna Rose | Directed by Ana Calise
A highly theatrical memory play about the real-life Leyendecker siblings, Mary, Joe, and Frank, whose artistic ambitions helped shape American illustration in the early 1900s. As Joe’s fame rises with the iconic Arrow Collar Man, Frank struggles with addiction, identity, and the shadow of his brother’s success.
Blending imagination, history, and family tension, The Lesser Leyendecker explores art, ambition, and the fragile bonds that hold a family together.
