Every Brilliant Thing – May 1-16, 2021 Segal Centre LiveEvents April 27, 2021 1164 A Segal Centre production in association with Hudson Village Theatre Every Brilliant Thing By Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe Directed by Dean Patrick Fleming Starring Daniel Brochu Hugs, the smell of old books, a hairdresser who listens to what you want The colour yellow, roller coasters, ice cream — as a mother battles chronic depression, a child creates a list of every brilliant thing they can think of, to remind them what makes life worth living. As the child grows, so does the list. Looking back on a life of ups and downs, the man takes the audience on an inspiring journey that celebrates finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us. At once intimate and interactive, this touching, funny, and uplifting performance chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. “An engaging, reflective and life-affirming look at joy, sadness, life and death” – CBC PERFORMANCES May 1 – May 16, 2021 Previews Saturday, May 1 – 4:00 pm Sunday, May 2 – 1:30 pm Regular Run Saturday and Sunday – 4:00 pm Matinées Saturday and Sunday – 1:00 pm VIRTUAL SUNDAY @ THE SEGAL An enriching, online, pre-show lecture on the ideas and themes of the play streamed live on the Segal’s Facebook and YouTube pages.
