'Every Brilliant Thing'

A local community theatre is staging a moving exploration of mental health, love and loss and celebrating the little things that make life worth living. The one-person show, Every Brilliant Thing, follows an unnamed narrator who, after their mother’s attempted suicide, begins to compile a list of “every brilliant thing” in the world. As the story progresses and the narrator ages, they find themselves searching for hope through the list, which includes ice cream and water fights, to staying up past your bedtime. Actors Lindsay Curry and Jillianne Tamillo rotate in the role through alternating performances. The play opens March 13 at Players By the Sea and runs through April 12.

Guests:

• Jillianne Tamillo, actor, Every Brilliant Thing, staged at Players By the Sea

• Lindsay Curry, actor, Every Brilliant Thing, staged at Players By the Sea
