Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at James Lecesne's THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY at Bay Street Theater
Bay Street Theater will welcome THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY as a Special Mainstage Bonus Production this summer. The one-man play will run one week only from tonight, July 18, through July 24. Just in time for tonight's first performance, get a sneak peek at James Lecesne onstage below!
THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY is written and performed by James Lecesne, music by Duncan Sheik, directed by Tony Speciale, and is produced by special arrangement with Darren Bagert and Daryl Roth. One of the greatest storytellers of his generation, James Lecesne (the writer of the Academy Award-Winning film Trevor), portrays every character in a small Jersey shore town as they unravel the story of Leonard Pelkey, a tenaciously optimistic and flamboyant 14-year-old boy. A luminous force of nature whose magic is only truly felt once he is missing, Leonard becomes the unexpected inspiration for a town as they question how they live, who they love and what they leave behind.
THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY comes to Bay Street Theater following hit runs in New York and Los Angeles.
There will a special benefit on Saturday, July 23 and partial proceeds will benefit Live Out Loud! Live Out Loud inspires, nurtures and empowers LGBTQ youth to build a successful future by connecting them to positive role models and affirmative experiences in the LGBTQ community.
Tickets are only $25 for Subscribers or single tickets are also available by calling the Box Office at 631-725-9500 or online at www.baystreet.org.
