Arts Project Management

"...Standing ovations even before intermission, a generosity of performance and onstage energy by eight brothers and sisters who have been fueled by the gods, and an audience response and afterglow that presenters most often only dream of. Leahy-monogrammed oxygen tanks should be passed out to each arriving patron. 'Breathtaking' doesn't even come close to being an adequate description of what Leahy gives to its audience." - Presenters Reports, April 1999
