Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe

Rediscover all that life has to give.

You’re seven years old and your mom’s in the hospital because she “finds it hard to be happy”. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. 1. Ice cream. 2. Water fights. 3.Staying up past your bedtime and being able to watch TV. 4. The color yellow. 5. Things with stripes. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. 319. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out of your nose. 320. Knowing someone well enough to get them to check your teeth for broccoli. This surprising and immersive theatrical experience speaks openly about depression, mental illness and suicide. With poignant humor and joy, Every Brilliant Thing takes us on a journey through grief, healing, falling in love, and rediscovering all that life has to give.

“It’s about depression, but it’s joyful. It’s a solo performance, but it’s not done alone. It’s one person’s story, but everyone in the audience can feel a connection to it. It follows a script, but it can’t be repeated. Every Brilliant Thing is brand new every time the solo performer and the audience combine to create it. The concept and characters stay the same, but what awaits viewers is improvisation.” – Seven Days Vermont
