SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing at Writers Theatre

If you run into any problems with this promo code\, please call the box office at 847-242-6000 or send an email at boxoffice@writerstheatre.org. \nTHIS PERFORMANCE IS GENERAL ADMISSION! \n“1. Ice Cream. 2. Water fights. 3. Staying up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV.” This is how a six-year-old child begins a list of all the things that make life wonderful. They’re making the list for their mother\, who suffers from depression. As life goes on\, and the challenges faced morph from childhood to adulthood\, the list continues to grow and take on a life of its own. By shining a hilarious and compassionate light on life’s small abundant joys\, this big-hearted play—told in gentle collaboration with the audience—is a loving tribute to resilience and the lengths we will go to for those we love. \n  \n  \n
