What makes life worth living? A child starts a list of every brilliant thing in the world, hoping to help their mother through depression. As the list grows – ice cream, the color yellow, the sound of laughter – the audience is invited on a heartwarming, interactive journey through life’s highs and lows, discovering joy in the simplest things.
“There may be no more powerful theatrical experience right now than EVERY BRILLIANT THING – a single performer, an audience invited to play along, and a list of reasons to keep going,” comments Scott Devine, ETC’s executive artistic director. “It’s funny, brave, and profoundly human – a list that ranges from Christopher Walken’s voice to the smell of old books to inappropriately timed ABBA songs and somehow reminds us that the smallest things are often what hold us together. In a season exploring truth and illusion, few stories feel more truthful, or more necessary, than this one.”
