Every Brilliant Thing: Actors on Mental Health and Hope Through Theater

This particular piece uses humor and levity in a way which I really respected and related to. And there was something about this piece that just really it spoke to me and made me so relieved to finally see something that felt closer to my language in theater.
Imagine a play that tackles the heavy topics of mental health and suicide prevention but does so with humor and grace. In this episode of Recovery Talks, Andi Daniel sits down with actors Rosie Seitz Ayers and Ryan Eggensperger to discuss their roles in the Montana tour of 'Every Brilliant Thing'. Written by Duncan MacMillan with Jonny Donahoe and directed by Erin Ortman, this play has captivated audiences by shining a light on life's joys amidst its darkest moments.
Rosie and Ryan share their experiences of bringing this powerful story to life, discussing how they balance the gravity of the subject with moments of levity. They open up about the emotional impact the play has had on them and their audiences, especially in a state like Montana, which faces significant challenges related to mental health. The actors also delve into the importance of community support and the unique way theater can foster understanding and empathy.
Tune in to hear how 'Every Brilliant Thing' is not just a play but a conversation starter, offering hope and connection through its poignant message.
