Ms. Armor has been performing since age seven with a blanket drawn across the garage door opening. Since that neighborhood venue she has performed in community, regional, Off-Off Broadway and Off-Broadway theatres from coast to coast in California, Arizona, Colorado, Upstate New York and Manhattan. Her breadth of work has included song, tap dance, sword play, comedy, drama, original works in Denver and Hell’s Kitchen and the classics such as Strindberg, Ibsen, Shaw and Shakespeare.

Some favorite roles include: Woo-Woo Girl in Flyboy – A Play with Music at Ensemble Studio Theatre, Viola in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at Westside Rep, Elinor Bagget in Deal with a Dead Man at The Changing Scene, Ginny Whittaker in Relatively Speaking at Germinal Stage, Vera Claythorne in Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians at Little Theatre of the Rockies, and Denver Center productions of Brecht’s Jewish Wife and the role of Sofya in Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.

Her pinnacle role to date drew praise from Rolf Fjelde, renowned Ibsen scholar, translator and Founder of the Ibsen Society of America in a production at Westside Repertory Theatre: “In some decades of playgoing in New York City, I have not seen a performance of Nora in Henrik Ibsen’s landmark drama A Doll House to surpass that of Leigh Armor…Miss Armor has set her indelible stamp upon the role. I can only hope most fervently that she will be granted the opportunity to share her rare talents with more ample audiences…”

Established in 1984 by Congressional Charter, Title 36, the National Theatre Conservatory (NTC) was a fully-accredited, three-year Master of Fine Arts program with third-year acting apprenticeships at the Tony Award winning Denver Center Theatre Company, a League of Resident Theatres (LORT) venue. Ms. Armor is one of just 268 NTC graduates.

Leigh is so grateful to have found her Arizona home here at the Theatre Artists’ Studio with her first performances in two original scripts during the June 2025 New Summer Shorts: Generosity by playwright John Perovich and The Ice Queen of the Bingo Palace by Amy Hartman. Happy and thankful, at last, to be among creative, collaborative players making theatre!
