Special Event: Every Brilliant Thing

Every Brilliant Thing is a poignant, uplifting one-person play by Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe. It tells the story of an individual who, as a child, begins compiling a list of everything that makes life worth living to help their mother cope with depression. From simple joys like "ice cream" and "staying up past your bedtime" to deeper connections like "the feeling of being understood," the list evolves as the narrator grows up, navigating love, loss, and their own mental health journey.​

Told with humor, warmth, and audience interaction, the play invites viewers to reflect on life's beauty, even amidst challenges. It's a celebration of resilience, human connection, and the power of small joys. Through the narrator’s personal yet universal story, Every Brilliant Thing reminds us all that hope can often be found in the simplest of things.
