Mental Health Awareness Month Every Brilliant Thing
Interactive Play Highlights All That Makes Life Worth Living A local non-profit theatre company is bringing joy to Westerville audiences in May to honor Mental Health Awareness Month. Good Medicine Productions presents “Every Brilliant Thing,” written by Duncan MacMillan with Johnny Donahoe, at the Alum Creek Amphitheater (221 W. Main St.) May 6 and 7 beginning at 7:30 p.m. and May 8 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25. Described as “heart-wrenching” and “hilarious,” the production centers around a child whose parent is in the hospital with depression. The child is inspired to create a list of all the things that make life worth living. Featuring performer Kristie Koehler Vuocolo, the intimate one-person show invites the audience to join the actor on stage and take an active role in the production. The result is living art that highlights the resiliency of the human spirit and the lengths we’d go for those we love. A portion of ticket sales will support Good Medicine’s pediatric and senior living programming. Performances are held rain-or-shine. To purchase tickets, visit www.goodmedicineproductions.org.
