His play, THE HOME STRETCH, won first place in the 4th Annual International Jewish Short Play Competition and has been performed in several venues.

Four of his short comedies were read at festivals held by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture. In June, 2025, his play, THE VIEW FROM DOWN UNDER, received the Audience Choice Award.

His Covid play was included in a book of short plays published by Smith & Kraus in July, 2021.

His comedy, THERAPY DOG, will be published by Big Dog Publishing in 2026.

Les and his wife, Hedy, split their time between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Boca Raton, Florida. And last but certainly least, Les is an attorney but let’s not hold that against him.
