Every Brilliant Thing is a story told from the perspective of a single performer. An immersive storytelling experience performed in the round that blends comedy, improv, and audience interaction to tell the story of someone growing up in the shadow of their mother's struggle with suicidal depression while learning to grapple with their journey. Surprisingly charming and delightful, Every Brilliant Thing provides a life-affirming jolt of humanism, reminding us that hope comes from the miracles of life. The aim is to destigmatize the conversation around mental health and encourage the audience to see the many ways we all experience joy and hardship.
