The Absolute Brightness of Leonard
Pelkey
by James Lecesne, featuring Scott McGowan
April 20-23
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 citi-
zens question how they live, who they love, and what
they leave behind.

Harry Clarke
by David Cale, featuring Clark Carmichael
April 27-30
Harry Clarke is the story of a shy midwestern man who
feels more himself when adopting the persona of cocky
Londoner Harry Clarke. Moving to New York and pre-
senting himself as an Englishman, he charms his way
into a wealthy family’s life, romancing two family mem-
bers as the seductive and sexually precocious Harry,
with more on his mind than love. With his spellbinding
and emotionally nuanced storytelling, Cale has created a
riveting story of a man leading an outrageous double
life.
