the Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey at the Forestburgh Playhouse

In this inspiring, funny and illuminating play, 1 actor portrays every character in a small Jersey Shore town as he unravels the story of Leonard Pelkey, a tenaciously optimistic 14-year-old boy who goes missing. A luminous force of nature whose magic is only truly felt once he is gone, Leonard becomes an unexpected inspiration to the entire town. “Leaves you beaming with joy…a superlative solo show that shimmers with the needling suspense you associate with the best police procedurals!” NY Times.
