The Bobbie Olsen Series on the Waxlax Stage presents:
Every Brilliant Thing

By Duncan Macmillan
With Jonny Donahoe

A boy’s handwritten list to cheer up his despondent mom becomes a surprisingly funny and poignant ode to humanity. Based on true and untrue stories, Duncan MacMillan’s Every Brilliant Thing takes audiences on a sublime and tender coming-of-age journey that reminds us to pay attention to life’s smallest joys— and to each other.
