Performances will run through September 29.
Clackamas Repertory Theatre will present "Every Brilliant Thing," a poignant and uplifting production that will resonate deeply with audiences. Continuing through Sept. 29, this play invites viewers on an unforgettable journey through life's highs and lows, narrated with warmth, humor, and heart.
Every Brilliant Thing, written by Duncan MacMillan with Jonny Donahoe, is a solo performance that has captivated audiences around the world. The story unfolds through the eyes of a young boy who begins compiling a list of everything brilliant about the world - everything worth living for. From "ice cream" to "the smell of old books," the list grows and evolves over time, offering an intimate look at the small joys that sustain us through life's darkest moments.
"This play is unlike anything we've done before," says David Smith-English, co-director of the production with Jayson Shanafelt - the actor in the show - and Karlyn Love, assistant director. "It's an interactive experience that connects the audience directly with Jayson, making each show unique. The themes of mental health, love, and hope are universal, and we believe this story will be quite meaningful to those who see it."
