Every Brilliant Thing
#1) Ice cream. #2) Kung Fu movies. #3) Burning things. #4) Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. #5) Construction cranes. #6) Me.
What are the brilliant things that make your life worth living? In this one-of-a-kind production, you are invited to help tell the story. Our storyteller began his own list at age seven to help his depressed mother through an episode and ended up transforming the way he looked at the world. Swinging from despair to hope, this one-man show will surprise you with its humor, compassion, and hope. The result is a poignant and unforgettable, immersive theatrical experience.
If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, self-harm, or would like emotional support, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline network, available 24/7 across the United States.
