EVERY BRILLIANT THING by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe

Directed By: Angel Kenison-Scott & Russ Scott
Starring: Sarah Ann Froese
Thursday – Saturday ONLY September 12-14 @ 7:30 PM

You're six years old. Mom is in the hospital. Dad says she's "done something stupid." She finds it hard to be happy. So, you start to make a list of everything that's brilliant about the world. Everything that's worth living for...

1. Ice Cream.
2. Kung Fu movies.
3. Staying up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV.
4. The color yellow.

You leave it on her pillow. You know she read it because she's corrected your spelling. Soon the list will take on a life of its own…

Duncan MacMillan’s play Every Brilliant Thing pulls back the curtain on what it’s like to be a child of a suicidal mother and the lengths we go for those we love. 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.

THP's Special Presentation of Every Brillant Thing opens during Suicide Prevention week: September 12-14 @ 7:30pm. Tickets are available now at talkinghorse.ticketleap.com/every-brilliant-thing/
