60 Minutes + 15 minute Question and Answer
Period.
You’re seven years old. Your mother is in the hospital. Your father
said she’s “done something stupid.” So, you begin a list of
everything that is truly wonderful about the world—everything worth
living for.
1. Ice cream.
2. Water fights.
3. Staying
up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV.
4. The color
yellow.
5. Things with stripes.
You leave it on her pillow.
You know she’s read it because she corrected your spelling. Soon,
the list will take on a life of its own.
With audience
members recruited to take on supporting roles, Every Brilliant Thing
is a heart-wrenching, hilarious story of depression and the lengths
we will go for those we love. Presented with unflinching honesty,
the play perfectly balances the struggles of life while celebrating
all that is “truly brilliant” in living each day.
THEATRE

Linda May.
Running Time: 60 minutes.

*CONTENT WARNING: Although the play balances the struggles of life
while celebrating all that is "truly brilliant" in living each day,
Every Brilliant Thing
contains descriptions of depression, self-harm, and suicide. The
show briefly describes a character's attempted suicides and her
death by suicide. Response Crisis Center recommends only audience members 14+ attend, and
reminds audiences to attend this program with their personal
experiences in mind. As always, if you or somebody you know is
struggling, we are here to talk 24/7 at 631-751-7500 or the National
