A son creates a list of things worth living for – all in an attempt to raise the spirits of his chronically depressed mother. He leaves the list on her pillow. He knows she’s read it because she’s corrected his spelling. Every Brilliant Thing is a hope-infused exploration of all the joys that can be found in life and a reminder that eventually, every storm runs out of rain. Beautiful. Heart-wrenching. And very funny.
 
Every Brilliant Thing is evidence, which we may need, that life matters, and that theater matters.   - Fuse
 
One of those incredible, transformative phenomena of collective imagination.  - Slant Magazine
 
Funny, clever, and surprisingly uplifting.  - The Telegraph
 
A life-affirming gem… as profound a work as you are ever likely to experience on a stage.  - NY1
Please be aware that depression and suicide are central themes of the story and will be handled with care. With this consideration in mind along with parental discretion, the story is suitable for patrons ages 8+.
