Leonard Foglia (born ?) is an American theatre director, librettist, and novelist.

Foglia made his Broadway debut with "The Heidi Chronicles" in 1989. He also directed revivals of "Wait Until Dark" (1998) and "On Golden Pond" (2005).

Foglia has collaborated with playwright Terrence McNally on three projects, "Master Class" (1995), "By The Sea, By The Sea, By The Beautiful Sea" (1996), and "The Stendhal Syndrome" (2004).

Foglia's off-Broadway credits include "A Backer's Audition" (1992), "Lonely Planet" (1994), "One Touch of Venus" (1996), and "If Memory Serves" (1999). His regional theatre credits include "The Subject Was Roses", "Thurgood", and "The Secret Letters of Jackie & Marilyn". He wrote the libretto for Jake Heggie's opera "The End of the Affair" and conceived and directed "Dreamland", a revue featuring the songs of Harold Arlen. In 2008, Foglia directed the world premiere of Jake Heggie's opera "Last Acts" at the Houston Grand Opera.

With Washington Post cultural correspondent David Richards, Foglia co-authored the 1997 suspense novel "1 Ragged Ridge Road". (ISBN 978-0671003555)

Foglia will next direct the upcoming production of "Thurgood", a one man show about the life and work of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall at Booth Theatre. "Thurgood", starring Laurence Fishburne, begins previews April 12 and opens officially on April 30, 2008. [cite web
