Every Brilliant Thing - College of Arts and Sciences

Join PlayMakers Repertory Company + the College of Arts and Sciences for "Every Brilliant Thing," a special health and wellness initiative in partnership with Student Affairs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This free performance is a Campus Life Experience (CLE).

"Every Brilliant Thing" is an intimate performance that brings us together in celebration of the little things that make life worthwhile. This immersive experience blends comedy, improv, and audience interaction to tell one individual’s story of growing up in the shadow of their mother’s struggle with suicidal depression while learning to grapple with their own journey and life experiences. Surprisingly charming and delightful, “Every Brilliant Thing” provides a life-affirming jolt of humanism, reminding us that hope comes from the miracles of life’s minutiae. Every Brilliant Thing is by Duncan MacMillan with Jonny Donahoe and directed by Tom Quaintance.

Held in Pleasants Family Assembly Room, Wilson Library.
