EVERY BRILLIANT THING is performed in the round and began previews on Wednesday, June 3; will open on Saturday, June 6 at 8pm; and run through Sunday, June 21 at the New Vic Theatre, 33 Victoria Street in Santa Barbara.

What makes life worth living? A child starts a list of every brilliant thing in the world, hoping to help their mother through depression. As the list grows - ice cream, the color yellow, the sound of laughter - the audience is invited on a heartwarming, interactive journey through life’s highs and lows, discovering joy in the simplest things.
