Leslye Headland is a Los Angeles-based playwright and screenwriter. She is the writer/director of the "Seven Deadly Plays" series, which was produced by and premiered at the IAMA Theatre Company in Los Angeles. The series includes CINEPHILIA (lust), BACHELORETTE (gluttony), ASSISTANCE (greed), SURFER GIRL (sloth), REVERB (wrath), and THE ACCIDENTAL BLONDE (envy). BACHELORETTE also enjoyed a sold-out, extended run at Second Stage Theatre Uptown in July 2010, which the "New York Times" called "vivid, entertaining and witheringly funny." Other New York credits include CINEPHELIA at Theatre Row. ASSISTANCE will premiere Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in 2012. Ms. Headland is working on her final play for the series (pride), as well as commissions for Second Stage Theatre and South Coast Repertory. For television, she wrote the first and only season of "Terriers," created by Ted Griffin and produced by Shawn Ryan, on FX. She is currently developing her "2008 Black List" screenplay, a feature adaptation of BACHELORETTE, with Gary Sanchez Productions (Adam McKay and Will Ferrell). She holds a B.F.A. in Drama from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and studied at Playwrights Horizons Theatre School, where she was awarded the Robert Moss Prize.
