Founding Artistic Director - Leo Egger

Leo Egger is the Founding Artistic Director of the Eno River Players. He founded the Eno River Players at the age of 14 in 2015 with his Bar Mitzvah money as the initial capital. In Durham, he staged three full-length Shakespeare tragedies: Hamlet (2016), King Lear (2017), and Othello (DSA, 2018) and founded the Summer Lab Program which provides a voice for new directors in the community  (producing Waiting for Godot in the summer of 2017.) Recently he directed productions of Richard II, Phaedo, The Government Inspector, and Coriolanus in New Haven, CT where he now lives. His work is about make-believe. He would be nowhere without the wonderful support of the players and technicians he has worked with, especially those who first worked on Hamlet in 2015.
