Vivid Stage presents "The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey"

Friday, April 21, 2023 @ 8:00pm



Oakes Center
120 Morris Avenue, Summit, NJ 07901

by James Lecesne

One actor portrays every character in a small Jersey Shore town as he unravels the story of Leonard Pelkey, a tenaciously optimistic and flamboyant fourteen-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 as the town’s citizens question how they live, who they love, and what they leave behind.
