Every Brilliant Thing at Merely Players

EVERY BRILLIANT THINGIm making a list of a thousand Brilliant Things. Im not certain but I think I might be a genius. Youre seven years old. Your Moms in the hospital because shes done something stupid. So you start making a list of everything thats brilliant in the world. Everything thats worth living for. Throughout your life, you add to the list. And you hope. Local favorite Sarah Syverson appears in this poignant, uplifting one-woman show. Another Merely Players regional premiere, Duncan Macmillans play illuminates the darkness of depression, pairing it with the notion that joy can be as contagious as despair. Our found space production of the year is unflinchingly honest and gloriously funny; it will continue to move you and make you think long after it ends.
