Get to know the young writers behind The Young Playbill.
London Cairney
Writer and Editor
London Cairney is a sophomore, theatre kid, and writer from Phoenix, Arizona. She loves strong female characters, unhinged musicals, and wordy plays. When she’s not at rehearsal or writing about theatre, she’s probably reading, listening to music, thrifting, or falling down some youtube rabbit hole.
Matthew Leal
Writer
Matthew Leal has been doing theatre in Arizona for the last 10 years. He is currently a junior at Brophy College Preparatory, where he participates in his school’s drama club, International Thespian Society, concert choir, and National Art Honors Society. He has participated in many wonderful productions that made him fall in love with the art form in every way. Whether he’s a part of hair and makeup backstage or giving 110% of his energy on stage, he loves live theatre more than anything. When he’s not performing, you can find him taking walks, hanging out with friends, spending time with family, or seeing shows across the valley, of course. Matthew hopes to pursue acting as a career one day in New York.
