You’re seven years old and your mom’s in the hospital because, as your dad says, she “finds it hard to be happy”. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for.
1. Ice cream
2. Water fights
3. Staying up past your bedtime and being able to watch TV.
4. The color yellow
5. Things with stripes.
This surprising and immersive theatrical experience speaks openly about depression, mental illness, and suicide, and the audience plays a key role in telling the story. With poignant humor and joy, Every Brilliant Thing takes us on a communal journey through grief, healing, falling in love, and rediscovering all that life has to give.
