Presented by Stone Soup Theatre Co., a nonprofit theatre company in Durham and Chapel Hill: In a time when the world feels increasingly heavy—with headlines full of conflict, division, and uncertainty—Every Brilliant Thing offers a luminous reminder of hope. This deeply human, interactive play celebrates the beauty of everyday joys—the smell of coffee, the sound of laughter, the comfort of connection.

Director Lavour Addison chose this play to remind us all that “It is also a gift to have this creative outlet at this divisive time in the country and our world. Our hope is that we can create lasting memories with perfect strangers.”

Told with humor, vulnerability, and heart, Every Brilliant Thing invites audiences to remember that even in our darkest moments, there are countless reasons to keep going. It’s not just a play—it’s a conversation about mental health, resilience, and gratitude that feels urgently relevant right now.
