"Every Brilliant Thing" is a heart-wrenching and hilarious play, performed by Grandstreet Theater of Helena, Montana, which will be performed in Broadus on November 25th, at 5:30 p.m. in the High School Auditorium.
The play is written by award-winning British playwright Duncan Macmillan with UK comedian Jonny Donahoe. The performance is a one-actor show, alternately starring Helena-born Missoula resident Rosie Seitz Ayers and Connecticut's Ryan Eggensperger. The play explores mental health, families and the ways people love in a hilarious and uplifting production for both adults and teenagers.
The story is about a seven year old child who comes home from school to learn that Mom is in the hospital. Dad says “she’s done something stupid.” The kid begins to create a list for Mom. A list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for. 1) Ice cream 2) Water fights 3) Staying up past your bedtime to watch TV ... As time passes and the list grows, what began as a naive attempt to make Mom happy becomes an epic chronicle of life’s little wonders. A tribute to the irrepressible resilience inside all of us and the capacity to find delight in the everyday, Every Brilliant Thing is a funny, clever, and surprisingly uplifting play about the lengths we go to for those we love.
The performance is free to the public and sponsored by the MSU Extension Service – Powder River County’s Youth Issues Coalition, Student’s Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and Eastern Service Area Authority (ESAA).
Earlier this summer, a 50-stop tour took place in Montana communities with the generous sponsorship of Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Montana, Town Pump and Montana Dakota Utilities. Due to increased demand, the tour continues through 2019 and 2020.
