Every Brilliant Thing

Written by Duncan Macmillan & Jonny Donahoe
Based on the production directed by Jason Loewith
for Olney Theater Center featuring Alexander Strain

November 6 - 28, 2022 (Sundays & Mondays)
Four Saints Brewery, 218 S Fayetteville St, Asheboro

A boy attempts to cure his mother’s depression by creating a list of the best things in the world. The list grows as he progresses from childhood (Ice Cream) and adolescence (Star Trek), to college (Surprises) and marriage (Falling in Love). But when life deals a bitter blow, the list proves to be helpful to the son in ways he could never have predicted. Performed by a single actor, Every Brilliant Thing strikes a delicate balance between sobering loss and cathartic laughter as it explores the lengths we go to for those we love.

In this musical, Billie Holiday's life story unfolds through the songs that made her famous. It's 1959, in an intimate bar in Philadelphia, and Holiday puts on a show that unbeknownst to the audience, will leave them witnesses to one of the last performances of her lifetime. Through her poignant voice and moving songs, one of the greatest jazz singers of all-time shares her loves and her losses.
