"A young boy creates a list of things to be happy for so he can cheer up his depressed, suicidal mother. It's a brilliant one man performance full of love, loss, compassion, and acceptance. Highly recommend you watch when you want to relax and... well, feel feelings. "
Wei Liu
"A one man show about a son's quest to confront his mother's lifelong battle with severe depression through the help of a very long and very sentimental list. The list itself is a work of art. Paired with the equally dazzling art of audience participation, Every Brilliant Thing playfully captures the pain, joy, and beauty of what it means to be human. Emphasis on joy."
