New Beginnings of Santa Barbara County presents two benefit performances of: Every Brilliant Thing

Every Brilliant Thing returns to Santa Barbara for the second time with the show’s original co-creator and star, Jonny Donahoe.

This unique and critically acclaimed play has become a global stage phenomenon, playing more than six hundred times over four continents, including five months off-Broadway and currently being performed in London’s West End.

Donahoe, a Drama Desk Award-nominated writer and performer will bring back his wildly popular and magnificent one-man show, previously showcased by New Beginnings in 2022.

Every Brilliant Thing follows a child who, to lift his mother’s spirits, begins a heartfelt list of life’s small joys—a list that grows over the years and comes to shape their own journey.

Both poignant and funny, the play explores the extraordinary ways we care for the people we love.

Donahoe will reprise his role in a performance that will be featured on Friday, October 24th, and a matinee show on Sunday, October 26th.

The show was filmed by World of Wonder and screened as a special on HBO.
