Every Brilliant Thing

Dezart Performs presents Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe.

You’re six years old. Mom’s in the hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. 1. Ice cream. 2. Kung Fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. 5. Constructions cranes. 6. Me. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. A play about depression and the lengths we will go for those we love.

Approximate running time: 75 minutes. There is no intermission.

Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM

Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 PM
