Every Brilliant Thing

1. Ice Cream. 2. Water Fights. 3. Staying up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV.

So begins a child’s earnest attempt to catalog every brilliant thing worth living for, aiming to uplift their mother during her battle with depression. As the child grows, so does the list–evolving into a poignant chronicle of life’s simple joys and the complexities of adulthood.

This immersive storytelling experience blends comedy, improv, and audience interaction, inviting you to become part of the narrative. Performed in the round, the production fosters an intimate atmosphere where every seat offers a unique perspective.

Every Brilliant Thing is a heartfelt reminder that even the smallest things–like a good cup of coffee or a song you love–can carry us through the hardest times. It’s about finding the joy in the everyday, bouncing back when life gets tough, and realizing just how much we need each other along the way.

Join us for this transformative experience that not only entertains but also opens a dialogue about mental health, encouraging us uall to find brilliance in the world around us.
