Leigh has been called “an American Phoebe Waller-Bridge” and “a more exciting Dakota Johnson”. She exists somewhere in between. Unless you ask her best friend’s father, who regularly confuses her with Jennifer Garner.
New York based, Poulos has performed at venues including St. Ann’s Warehouse, Classic Stage Company, and Lincoln Center Education, as well as regionally. A two-time recipient of the Arts Education at Park Avenue Armory Space Grant, Poulos developed and self-produced her first original solo show, Splendid Devils, a tribute to three turn-of-the-century pioneering artists, which debuted at The Plaxall Gallery, in Long Island City. Poulos wrote and co-starred in two seasons of the LGTBQ+ web series, Dates Like This, called “rom-com gold…if America was ready” by autostraddle.com, which screened at ITVFest and took home top honors at the Planet Connections International Film Festival.
A decade-long company member of the acclaimed Story Pirates, Poulos has traveled the country teaching creative writing workshops to elementary school students and adapting/performing their stories in musical sketch comedy shows. She has written and performed on multiple seasons of the Story Pirates’ hit podcast, winner of I Heart Radio’s Best Kids & Family Podcast Award. She also regularly devises and performs new, small-batch, sensory-based theater for young people with developmental differences with theater companies Bluelaces and Trusty Sidekick, both world-class innovators in accessible theater.
