“Ice cream.” “Water fights.” “Peeing in the ocean and nobody knows.” A boy’s handwritten list to cheer up his mom’s struggle with suicidal depression becomes a surprisingly funny and poignant ode to humanity. "Every Brilliant Thing" is a transcendent and tender coming-of-age journey that reminds us to pay attention to life’s smallest joys—and to each other. This story blends comedy, improv, and audience interaction. A life-affirming jolt of humanism, reminding us that hope comes from the miracles of life’s minutiae.
