The ever-busy Kenny Leon squeezes a new Broadway hit into his schedule

artsatl.com: Downtime has never really been part of Kenny Leon’s DNA. He finishes one project and darts off to start another, crisscrossing the country at will, effortlessly making the segue from theater to television.

His long-planned Broadway revival of the drama Children of a Lesser God — published by Mark Medoff back in 1979 and winner of the 1980 Tony Award for Best Play — officially opened this week at Studio 54 in New York City. The story of Sarah Norman, a deaf woman, and her relationship with her teacher James Leeds, has an open-ended run, after an acclaimed try-out by New England’s Berkshire Theater Group last year.
