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.
approx. 90 minutes, with no intermission
For the Deaf community, we are providing an ASL-interpreted performance of this event on January 24, 2024 at 7:30 PM.
