TISDALE – The Tisdale Arts Council has their final show of the season coming up on March 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Maurice Taylor Performing Arts Theatre. 

The comedy, Every Brilliant Thing, will take theatregoers through an experience of depression and gratitude.  

"The astonishingly funny, unforgettable solo performance dives deep into mental health and the lengths we go to for those we love. Based on true and untrue stories. Hilarious, one of the funniest plays you'll ever see," said the Guardian.

The performance was written by Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe, starring Elizabeth Nepjuk.

"You're seven years old and mom is in the hospital. Dad said she had 'done something stupid'. You start a list of everything worth living for. 1. Ice Cream 2. Roller coasters 3. Peeing in the lake and nobody knows. You leave the list on your pillow. You know she's read it because she's corrected your spelling. Twenty years later, the list takes a life of its own," says the Tisdale Arts Council news release.

Next year, the Tisdale Arts Council is planning for five shows.
