BWW Q&A: Jimish Thakkar on Every Brilliant Thing at The Rose Studio

We talk to Jimish Thakkar about Every Brilliant Thing at The Rose Studio. Ice cream. Water fights. Roller coasters. Hugging. People falling over.

As he matures and faces his own challenges, the growing list inspires him to find meaning in everyday life. Told with the help of the audience, this charming one-man show is a joyful act of collective storytelling that reveals how the connections we make are what keep us strong. Funny, poignant and full of hope, Every Brilliant Thing might just change the way you see the world.
