Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillion and Jonny Donahue.

Join us on stage at Tybee Post Theater for Every Brilliant Thing, a comedy about depression and the lengths we go to for those we love. This play has become a smash hit worldwide and has been performed in over 20 countries, featuring just one actor onstage and a very immersive experience for the audience. Every Brilliant Thing is a heart wrenching and hilarious one-person play that will have your belly laughing and your eyes brimming. Based on true and untrue stories and told with the help of the audience, it is a life-affirming story of how to achieve hope through focusing on the smallest miracles of life.
