About Every Brilliant Thing

By Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe Directed by Jeffrey Lo

Running January 6 - 28, 2024, matinee and evening performances available

A poignant journey through grief and healing.

If you were to make a list of things that make life worth living, what would be at the top? Ice cream? Family? The even-numbered Star Trek films? Who would you share your list with? For our character in this uplifting solo performance, it’s their mother. This surprising and immersive theatrical experience openly discusses 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 (re)discovering all that life has to give. You’ll be part of the story, with opportunities for warm, fun audience participation.

Know before you go

While the play focuses on resilience & hope, it contains discussions of depression and suicide. If you or someone you know is in crisis or considering self-harm or suicide, help is available: https://cchealth.org/mentalhealth/crisis-services.php.
