The Infection of Secrets is a multi-media one-woman show created, produced, and performed by Leslie Hyland Rodgers and directed by Richard Armstrong. The show blends Leslie’s live performance with her original prose and poetry, musical and sound composition, vocal recording, collage, drawing, video, and photography.

The show addresses triumph over adversity, women’s empowerment, generational trauma, and the power of healing. It asks universal questions of self-value and potential and searches for answers through a unique and personal story.  What begins as an exotic wilderness holiday becomes a night-long metaphorical journey into past trauma and subsequent transformation into hope and healing.
