The conversation around Every Brilliant Thing just got a little louder and a little closer to home.
A recent episode of The Daily, from The New York Times, shines a spotlight on the global impact of this deeply personal, life-affirming play. The episode features Daniel Radcliffe, currently performing the show on Broadway, and Mariska Hargitay, who is set to take over the role later this spring.
But what makes this episode especially meaningful for us is who else you’ll hear.
Also featured are Greg Dragas and Candunn Jennette, artists who have brought Every Brilliant Thing to communities across Hampton Roads and beyond through Virginia Stage Company’s touring production over the past three years.
That’s the thing about this play. It does not belong to just Broadway. It lives in classrooms, community centers, and intimate spaces where audiences do not just watch the story.
They become part of it.
The episode highlights what makes Every Brilliant Thing resonate across the world. It tackles mental health with honesty, humor, and connection. From a Broadway stage to a local audience here in Virginia, the impact is the same. Personal, immediate, and lasting.
If you have experienced the show with us, you know.
If you have not, this is your invitation to see why it is connecting with audiences everywhere.
