Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe

Jan 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, Feb 1*, 2 – 2025

When a woman goes into the hospital because she finds it “hard to be happy”, her 6-year-old daughter starts writing her a list of all the brilliant things in life worth living for. No. 1: “Ice cream”, No. 94: “Friendly cats”, No. 317: “The even numbered Star Trek films”. As the girl grows older, her list grows longer, reminding her of the large and small miracles in life. Told with the help of the audience, this hilarious, heartbreaking and critically acclaimed Off-Broadway hit, is an immersive theatrical experience that reminds us of all the wonderful things that make life worth living. If you have ever written a "gratitude list", list play is for you.
