ABOUT ABOUT

You're six years old and your mom's in the hospital because, as your dad says, she "finds it hard to be happy." You start making a list for her of all the wonderful things in life. No. 1 "ice cream" No. 6 "rollercoasters" No. 517 "Knowing someone well enough to get them to check your teeth for broccoli" Every Brilliant Thing is a heart wrenching and hilarious one-man play told with the help of the audience*. Together, they learn how to achieve hope by focusing on the smallest miracles of life.

*This production is performed with the help of the audience in whatever capacity you wish. All interactions are opt-in and create a collaborative, joy-filled experience for all. The production may be enjoyed with or without directly participating.

Audience advisory: Audience members must be 13 or older. No children under 13 will be admitted. The play contains frank discussions of depression and suicide.
