The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey to Be Presented by Dixon Place

Dixon Place is set to present James Lecesne's The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey, beginning previews on February 7 and opening on February 22. Tony Speciale directs, with visuals by Matthew Sandager and incidental music by Duncan Sheik.

Based on the best-selling novel Absolute Brightness, the show features critically acclaimed, Emmy-nominated, and award-winning storyteller James Lecesne, who portrays the life and characters of a Jersey Shore town where a young boy goes missing.

A Broadway veteran, James Lecesne is cofounder of the Trevor Project, the only national 24-hour crisis intervention and suicide prevention Lifeline for LGBT and Questioning youth, and he wrote the screenplay for the Oscar-winning short film Trevor, which inspired the founding of the organization. James has created several solo shows including Word of Mouth, which was presented by Mike Nichols and Elaine May and directed by Eve Ensler and One Man Band.
