About Leann Heath
After 16 years in professional theatre, I rediscovered my passion for education. Today, as a community educator and teaching artist, I use the power of theatre to spark meaningful conversations around racism, white privilege, gender equity, and diversity and inclusion.I believe arts and education go hand-in-hand to create dynamic, empathetic, and transformative learning environments—for both kids and adults. My work centers on using performance, storytelling, and dialogue to build understanding, challenge assumptions, and inspire change.Let’s connect—what conversations are you looking to start?
