Every Brilliant Thing

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.

What the critics are saying:
“We first meet him when he’s seven years old. His mother has just attempted to kill herself, and the boy, in his innocence, believes if he makes a list of all the terrific things in life, it will cure his mother’s depression and encourage her to embrace life.

Despite the subject matter, the play isn’t gloomy or morbid. While facing the realities of depression and suicide, it fully embraces life. In these dark days of disappointment and discouragement, it’s essential to have some levity, to experience moments of joy, and Every Brilliant Thing provides that.” – Nancy Stetson, Florida Theatre On Stage
