1/29/2024 Leon Pitts was nine years old when he met his mentor, his “rabbi,” Nate Jacobs. Nate was a teacher at Leon’s school and although, neither knew it at the time, one day Nate would be the founder of The West Coast Black Theater Troupe and Leon would be one of its founding members. Today, decades later, Leon is a seasoned performer, he has sung, danced and acted in dozens of productions; and gotten his actors equity card. Listen to my two interviews with Leon, in which he describes the magical way he was convinced to turn his back on the career everyone thought he should pursue, and follow Nate into the “fire’ where he discovered his passion, his commitment and the life he was meant to live. And don’t miss the result of that courageous leap in Leon’s stand out performance in   “A Soldier’s Play,” the current production at the West coast Black Theater Troupe.
