"Every Brilliant Thing"

With its next play, Terrific New Theatre will make history by staging its first-ever pop-up production. Every Brilliant Thing, a one-man show, will be performed at the Magic City Acceptance Center’s new Youth Center, located at the corner of Third Avenue South and 32^nd Street, three blocks east of TNT’s longtime home at Pepper Place. The production – which stars Nick Crawford, one of Birmingham’s most talented, versatile and acclaimed actors – will run Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from Jan. 30 through Feb.15, plus two Sunday matinees.

Written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, Every Brilliant Thing is about a boy who compiles a list of things worth living for in his attempt to ease his suicidal mother’s depression. Through adulthood, as the list grows and takes on a life of its own, he learns the deep significance the list has on his own life, as he goes to college, falls in love, and builds a home. This charming play – which enlists members of the audience to help tell its story – deftly manages to mine glorious humor from a somber and emotional topic.
