A Long Day in A Bad Shirt (Dispose of Properly) 10 face plays by Jamie Leo
About This Show
Ever since his work with the Iowa Theater Lab, Jamie Leo’s decades of theatrical explorations have pushed the limits of interdisciplinary and narrative media. In A Long Day in a Bad Shirt, he has distilled ten portraits of wayward individuals: a prison lifer, a late-nite cabbie, an old-school real estate broker, a speeding surgeon, and others—and has mapped scenographic elements into his own face to create character—via environs.
