The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey – NY Times Critics’ Pick written & performed by Academy Award-winning co-founder of The Trevor Project and The Future Perfect Project, Celeste Lecesne—praised by The New York Times as “among the most talented solo performers of his (or any) generation.”

The Story: When Leonard Pelkey goes missing, those who knew him, sometimes only briefly, begin to tell their stories. Through Lecesne’s remarkable portrayal of multiple characters, a fractured community is revealed, grappling with fear, love, and compassion.
