ABOUT EVERY BRILLIANT THING
Rediscover all that life has to give. In Every Brilliant Thing, a child attempts to ease his mother's depression by creating a list of all the best things in the world. Everything worth living for. 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. Through adulthood, as the list grows, he learns the deep significance it has in his own life. This immersive experience blends comedy, improv, and audience interaction to take us on an inspiring journey. Celebrate finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us.

Every Brilliant Thing is a one person show. The show may be double cast.
