Every Brilliant Thing, A Pink and Pinay Production
May 23, 2025 @ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
CIRCA Pintig, Chicago’s Filipino American theatre company in its 34th year, presents EVERY BRILLIANT THING, the groundbreaking one-performer play written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahue. This heartfelt play about a child’s mother living with depression is told through a narrator, letting the performer bring in their lived experiences into the storytelling, creating a profound theatrical experience.
CIRCA Pintig’s production, led by Filipina actress Mari Joy, will bring the Filipina girlhood point of view into the play, tackling the pressures of mental health in a Filipino household, in a pink and pinay production. 💗
