Leslie Stupple

Leslie is a founding member of Pied Piper Players, Inc. and currently serves as Artistic Director. With a strong belief that cultural arts are the lifeblood of a healthy, intelligent and enriched society, she has been teaching drama and life skills through drama for over 20 years.

Before moving to San Francisco, Leslie worked 13-1/2 years with emotionally and developmentally challenged children and teens.

"Theater is a wonderful teaching tool.  We learn a great deal about life, others and ourselves through participation in a cooperative venture.  There's no better way to develop communication, appropriate expression and respect than coming together to work on a project with a common goal."

She studied for her bachelor's of arts degree at Suny New Paltz under the tutelage of Dr. Beverly Brumm.  Leslie says, "learning is a never-ending process.  It's not enough to be schooled in a formal institution.  We must be willing to look at everything we do as a lesson for the future."  She has collaborated with like-minded people to create Pied Piper Players.
