Finalist Canadian Chalmers Play Award
Named 'Outstanding Performing Artist' of Windsor Ontario, Canada, Leslie McCurdy, has been performing for many years in Southwestern Ontario and the Mid-Western United States. Also a teacher, with an honours B.F.A. in dance from the University of Michigan, Leslie was slated to go to New York to apprentice with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre when she literally tripped, fractured her hip, and fell into acting. While she has many theatre credits, Leslie is best known for the two one-woman plays that she wrote and has toured with internationally for 14 years. 'The Spirit of Harriet Tubman' was a finalist for a Canadian Chalmers Award for Best New Play for Young Audiences, though it is a play for all ages, and her second play 'Things My Fore-Sisters Saw', about four Black women who impacted Canadian History, ran on the Bravo Network in Canada.
