Leigh Holman
LEIGH HOLMAN (Stage Director) balances a teaching and professional stage directing career in the United States and abroad. In recent years, she has made directing debuts at the Pafos Aphrodite Festival in Cyprus, L’Opéra de Montréal and Florida Grand Opera. Recent CU Boulder productions include West Side Story, Sweeney Todd and Ariodante.

As the founder and artistic/general director of CU Boulder’s New Opera Workshop (CU NOW), she continues to passionately promote the creation, collaboration and production of new American works.
