Photos: First Look at EVERY BRILLIANT THING at The Kitchen Theatre
By: Stephi Wild Updated
Kitchen Theatre Company continues its 2017-2018 Season with the regional premiere of Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, a funny and moving new play about the lengths to which we will go for those we love. It is an immersive experience, as members of the audience are called upon to help tell the story. You'll want to see it more than once!
Performances of Every Brilliant Thing began at the Kitchen Theatre Company in The Percy Browning Theatre on November 11 and run through December 10.
Every Brilliant Thing asks you to notice the little things. The brilliant things. And that's something worth reminding us all to do right now. It also asks important questions about how a community can come together to heal an individual, to heal each other, and to re-learn how important it is to be there for one another. It's served up with a large dose of the best medicine: laughter.
An amazing team of designers and assistants all hailing from Ithaca area schools are working behind the scenes to make Every Brilliant Thing a reality. Scenic and lighting design is by Steve TenEyck, assisted by Indigo Shea. Sound design is Don Tindall, assisted by Sean Woods. Costume design is by Lisa Boquist. The Props Designer and Scenic Artist is Megan Parker. The assistant director is Aaron Roberts. The Production Stage Manager is Jennifer Schilansky.
Special events for Every Brilliant Thing include Pay What You Can Nights on November 12 and 14 and Actors' Forum discussions after the show on November 17 and December 1. For more events and information, visit kitchentheatre.org.
