Lezlie Revelle Zucker is an award-winning playwright, author, and singer-songwriter from the Midwest. Since she was old enough to walk and sing--which her parents will happily tell you was far too early--she has performed in a myriad of aspects: choirs, variety shows, theatre productions, coffee houses, fairs, and festivals. Over the years, she has taught college writing, led creative writing workshops for children and adults, and devoted time to composing music and writing sacred drama for religious organizations. For almost a decade, Lezlie also worked as an artist-in-residence at local junior high and high schools.
Lezlie currently works as the Music Coordinator for Congregation Beth Torah in Overland Park, KS.
We fondly remember founding producer

May her memory be a blessing.
