Playwright Mark E. Leib was born in Tampa, and lives there now, but spent much of his life elsewhere. One day, he knew, he would write something about the history of his hometown. He just didn’t have a timeline.
The opportunity arose during a series of talks between Leib and Stageworks Theatre director Karla Hartley, who offered to produce an original, history-based Leib work. This began the saga of When the Righteous Triumph, which opens a three-weekend run at the Channelside District theater tonight.
