Every Brilliant Thing
By Duncan Macmillan
With Jonny Donahoe
Directed by Tony Caselli
October 2 – October 26, 2025
When Mom’s in the hospital and Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’, there’s not much a seven-year-old can do. Her childlike way of dealing with this is to write a list of every brilliant thing in the world – ice cream, staying up too late, roller coasters – and to share it with her mother. As our narrator moves through life, the list grows, changes, and is created in collaboration with each night’s audience in this sweet-salty comic work. Based on true and untrue stories, Every Brilliant Thing is a life-affirming story of how to achieve hope through focusing on the smallest miracles of life. Contains mature content.
