Center stage: Live Arts welcomes audiences back inside the theater with Every Brilliant Thing, a story about depression that’s both deeply touching and laugh-out-loud funny. After his mother attempts suicide, a 7-year-old boy writes her a list of all the things that make life worth living, from ice cream to Kung Fu movies. As he grows up and faces his own struggles, the list takes on another level of importance in his own life. Directed by Clinton Johnston and starring Chris Estey, Liz Howard, and Ray Nedzel, the play’s emphasis on audience interaction means that no two performances are the same.
Through 11/7. $20-25, times vary. Live Arts, 123 E. Water St., livearts.org. See COVID restrictions on the website.
