Lakeview East Resident Featured in “Hail Mary/Maria” with Nova Entertainment

Lakeview East resident, Aidan Leake, is featured in Hail Mary/Maria, written by RJ Silva and directed by Adam Reed, August 14 - 23 at Theater Wit in Theater 2, 1229 W. Belmont. Leake plays “Jack.”

Kid, short for Kindness, gets slapped with his first real crush. He relies on his three Marys for guidance: his Filipina mother Marie, the Blessed Virgin Mary and his favorite pro wrestler, Maria. And although he feels like he’s blindly top-rope diving into love, will he be able to stand as a champion for himself? A coming-of-age story with the electricity of a live wrestling show, the comfort and bonds of a Filipino family and the warmth of a budding romance, Hail Mary/Maria is a heartfelt adventure of finding and loving who you are.
