Leif Larson is NYC based playwright. He was born in California during the Summer of Love when Charles Manson was assembling his family. Cults were everywhere and he was born into one. He recently woke up and got out. Now, he writes plays to share his experiences with his community in the spirit of strengthening our sense of empathy and understanding for each other.
He and his husband, the visual artist Christopher Tandy, publish a bi-annual fagazine, Blood of a Fresh Kill.
