THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY
THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY

A fundraiser for Central Illinois Friends.

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 citizens question how they live, who they love, and what they leave behind.
STARRING DAVID FRITZ
DIRECTED BY JOEL SHOEMAKER

About the band:
Slim Hickey’s fun, energetic music with roots in country swing, bluegrass, blues, rockabilly and rock & roll can be summarized as Hillbilly Jazz. Lead vocalist and songwriter Tim Wallis fills each song with challenging leads and lots of smooth slide guitar. Bass guitarist Jameson Mundy adds a rock-solid groove, the white line on the road the band travels. Playing with brushes, Josh Psydell’s steady beats on drums are the back-bone to Slim Hickey. Everyone enjoyed this group when they were featured in 2021 at our November 6 art reception. Hear Tim play at Chicken Pickin' the Steel Guitar Rag, instrumental by Tim Wallis - YouTube
