'Every Brilliant Thing' uses theater to build resilience

Sunlight. Bubble wrap. The fact that sometimes there is a perfect song to match how you’re feeling.

What gives your life meaning? “Every Brilliant Thing,” a one-actor performance by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, explores this question through theater and delves into topics of mental health and well-being.
