#LGBTQ: James Lecesne Tours in “The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelky” (Coming to a Theater Near You!)

By Trey Speegle on May 14, 2017 9:56 am

I’ve written about my friend James Lecesne‘s show The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelky here before when it was in a limited run. Now it’s a hit and on tour. It’s an adaptation of his “young adult” novel Absolute Brightness — a story, full of funny, familiar residents of a small Jersey town and the disappearance of a memorable (apparently gay) teen. These people unravel the story of Leonard, an optimistic and flamboyant 14 year-old boy, whose magic is only truly felt once he is missing. Leonard inspires the town as they question what people leave behind when they are gone. James says;

“It has to be varied, to keep people’s interest for 75 minutes. You can’t have too many people in the hair salon, right?”

Right. You can find it playing in these theaters across the country:

May 17- June 4
The Philadelphia Theater Company
at The Suzanne Roberts Theater.
Go here for tickets.

June 7th – June 25
The Laguna Playhouse
Laguna Beach CA.
Go here for tickets

July 13, 14 & 15
A return engagement at the
Wellfleet Harbor Actor’s Theatre
in Wellfleet MA.
Go here for tickets

September – October
The Old Globe Theater
San Diego, CA
