Christian LeBlanc, best known for playing The Young and the Restless’ hot-shot attorney Michael Baldwin, is headed back to the stage, and fans couldn’t be more excited.
Ruth Stage is returning to the Jersey Shore Arts Center with a full production of Edward Albee’s At Home at the Zoo, following the sold-out, critically praised run of The Zoo Story this past September.
This time around, the story takes a darker, bolder, and even more explosive turn, as marriage becomes a battlefield and civility crumbles under the weight of buried truths.

LeBlanc will star alongside Broadway powerhouse Nancy Lemenager and Off-Broadway firebrand Matt de Rogatis, who also serves as Ruth Stage chairman. Theo Devaney serves as director.
Ruth Stage has earned a reputation for daring, psychologically charged reinterpretations of modern classics, and At Home at the Zoo takes it even further.
The play presents a marriage teetering on the edge of implosion, a world where love and cruelty are nearly indistinguishable. In the intimate space of the Jersey Shore Arts Center, audiences won’t just watch the drama—they’ll feel it, uncomfortably close to the blast radius.
Christian LeBlanc is no stranger to the stage. Beyond his iconic role on Y&R, he starred in Ladies in Retirement at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in 1995 and more recently appeared in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Fans of his work know that whether he’s in front of a camera or on a theater stage, LeBlanc brings powerful performance to every role. After all, he’s a three-time Emmy winner, having taken home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series not just once, but three separate years.
