Every Brilliant Thing

Every Brilliant Thing follows a young boy who creates a list of brilliant things in life to attempt to help his mother, who struggles with depression. As the list grows, it highlights the beauty and joy found in everyday moments, from ice cream to the color yellow. It is a heartwarming and thought-provoking play that delves into the complexities of mental health and the human experience. It invites audiences to reflect on the importance of connection and the power of love in overcoming life's challenges and ultimately celebrates resilience and the little things that make life worth living.

Mentions of suicide, depression, mental health, self harm, trauma, animal death.
