Every Brilliant Thing

By Duncan MacMillan with Jonny Donahoe
Directed by Steven Schipper & Featuring Jimish Thakkar

Ice cream. Water fights. Roller coasters. Hugging. People falling over. A seven-year-old boy starts a list of wonderful things in the world to cheer up his mom. Everything worth living for. As he matures and faces his own challenges, the growing list inspires him to find meaning in everyday life. Told with the help of the audience, this charming one-man show is a joyful act of collective storytelling that reveals how the connections we make are what keep us strong. Funny, poignant and full of hope, Every Brilliant Thing might just change the way you see the world.

CONTENT WARNING: Although the play balances the struggles of life while celebrating all that is wonderful in living, Every Brilliant Thing contains brief descriptions of depression & self-harm. Recommended for audience members 14 and older.
