Looseleaf and friends - actors, poets, artists, dancers, comics, and musicians - will pay tribute to Leonardo by performing pieces for, about and inspired by Leonardo.

Among those appearing: Mike Mollett, Bruce Vilanch, Peter Wing Healey, Perpetua, Doug Knott, John Fleck, Stephen Kearney, Taylor Negron, Caldwell and Winfree, Alex Abella, Scott Wannberg and Beth Lapides. Looseleaf will host and sign books, while Gary Leonard will be on hand photographing.
