Leos Ensemble Theatre Presents
TEN ARGUMENTS by A. Emmanuel Leadon
A World Premiere Play
Conceived by Nick Leos | Directed by Kelli J. Howard and Nick Leos
April 8 & 9 | 8pm | $5-15
Ten Arguments takes the form of a series of ten sketches set over the last decade, all about the ways social media is undermining our lives. It’s MadTV crossed with The Colored Museum wrapped up in your uncle's conspiracy Twitter rants. Audiences will meet Saturday and Sunday: siblings who have to let their subscribers know that the star of their channel, their grandpa, is dead (Social Media Hates Your Soul) –they’ll see Joaquin Phoenix head to clown school in Dallas’ Deep Ellum Comedy District (Social Media Is Undermining Truth) and check in on Post Malone’s work at the Dallas Branch of the NAACP (Social Media is Making You Unhappy).
Ten Arguments is a world premiere by Oak Cliff-based playwright A. Emmanuel Leadon. Conceived by Nick Leos and loosely framed by technology activist Jaron Lanier’s Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts.

ABOUT THE MAKERS
Playwright A. Emmanuel Leadon is a humorist, visual artist, and chef from Dallas. His stage work approaches current events with surrealism, mystique, and a distorted sense of language. His first play CAVE CANEM was shortlisted for the Relentless Award, presented at the National New Play Network Showcase, received development at the Play Penn and Great Plains Conferences, and is slated for its college premiere this spring at Yale.
Leos Ensemble Theatre is a contemporary theatre group based in Dallas, Texas led by Nick Leos. The mission of Leos Ensemble is to feature plays with international themes, embrace technology and innovative storytelling techniques, and provide access to theatre for all. Our theatre work is also focused on new ways of producing with environmental and emotional sustainability. In 2021, Leos Ensemble won acclaim for its groundbreaking production of Gertrude Stein's Turkey and Bones and Eating and We Liked It which unfolded on TikTok, and was produced in partnership with the international Lost Ladies of Theatre Project. Last December, we presented a free staged reading of The Leopard Play, or sad songs for lost boys by Isaac Gómez directed by Gloria Vivica Benavides at Arts Mission Oak Cliff. In 2019, Leos Ensemble's production of small hours by Lucy Kirkwood and Ed Him was named Best Alternative Theater by Frank Garrett of Theater Jones.
