SEEKING:

Hilda: a woman in her 30s-40s, a quiet observer by habit 鈥� having been told she tends to share too much, an ordinary mouse whose depths can sneak up on you, a seeker longing to know what鈥檚 true, her memories are visceral and her perceptiveness exceptional, she has an aptitude for connecting extraordinarily with forces others do not perceive

Linda: a woman in her 40s-60s, a working-class Brit who lives in America because her work as a psychic doesn鈥檛 pass muster with employment authorities back home, charismatic and intuitive, salt-of-the-earth armchair entertainer who does what鈥檚 necessary to get by

Jerry: a man in his 40s-50s, Linda鈥檚 younger cousin who runs in political circles and travels the world, a raconteur whose stories try to hold the room鈥檚 attention but don鈥檛 always, bucks popular points of view

Sylvia: a well-heeled woman in her 40s-60s, a good friend of Linda鈥檚, though their relationship can get tempestuous, a liberal, questioning socialite, when in crisis, she has leaned on Linda for paranormal input

EVERY BRILLIANT THING

Directed by Jessica Robblee

1st Rehearsal: November 3, 2025

Shows: December 4-28, 2025 (Boulder)

SEEKING:

Narrator: They carry this show with a great deal of scripted text and a readiness to improvise in response to audience members鈥� reactions during the show. This person is honest, present, funny, vulnerable, excellent at crowd work (direct address, playing with audience members as scene partners and collaborators on the fly, helping audience members be at ease, riffing off of in-the-moment circumstances as they arise, being the guide for the audience as they make their way through the show). The Narrator can be played by a woman or a man of any age or ethnicity.

SEEKING:

Trish: a woman in her 40s or so, eldest of three sisters, nearing the end of her life due to late-stage cancer, in and out of lucidity, conversation by turns deals with the everyday and the gigantic, has held onto her sense of humor, a mother

Suzie: a woman in her 40s, the middle sister, a force to be reckoned with, a decision-maker who can dominate a to-do list, mother of a six-year-old in need of a solution, because she too has a cancer diagnosis.

Fran: a woman in her 30s-40s, tough talking and outspoken, holds cynicism and great love, has a strong point of view but doubts herself, she loves her sisters deeply but is figuring out what that connection means, she would never claim to have her life together and yet she鈥檚 determined to craft the life she wants, a woman at a crossroads

Owen: a man in his 40s-50s, owner of a Brooklyn laundry, life has thrown him some curveballs -- a broken engagement, injuries from a car accident, he鈥檚 relatively positive, outspoken, and comes with some rough edges but he has a squishy center, wants love and is scared of being left
