LEATHER DADDIES: THE MUSICAL is a wild ride with the real-life gay biker gang who kickstarted the sexual revolution in 1950s Chicago. Acclaimed theatre artist Scott Bradley and Nashville recording artist Mercy Bell are building the show upon the biography Leatherman by Tracy Baim and Owen Keehnen. About Face Theatre will host the artists in Spring 2023 for a workshop of this new work in development, culminating in the first concert reading of the full work for an audience.
