Detective tour de force

Rich Hebert gives an unforgettable performance in B Street’s production The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelky, directed by Jerry Montoya. As detective Chuck DeSantis, Hebert recalls the decade-long case of a 14-year-old boy, reported missing and then found dead, the victim of a bullying incident gone terribly wrong. Hebert plays the roles of all the residents of the small town, as he discovers what an impact the young boy made on everyone. The play is both funny and heartbreaking.
