Weekend of May 15 - May 17, 2026

Every Brilliant Thing at Theatre B

Sunday, May 17 at 2:00 PM

"This is the final performance of a critically acclaimed, immersive production. Unlike passive cinema, it uses audience interaction to build a shared list of reasons to live, making it the most meaningful event of the spring season."

PRO TIP: Arrive 20 minutes early; the seating is unassigned and the 'list-building' often starts before the official curtain time.
