You are 6 years old, and your mother is in the hospital because she can’t find a reason to be happy. So you start making a list of “All the Great Things.” All the things that make life worth living.
- Ice cream.
- Water gun fights.
- Staying up past bedtime and being allowed to watch TV.
- The color yellow.
- Striped things.
- …
You start filling out the list and leave it on her pillow. You know she has read it because she has corrected all your spelling mistakes. Soon, this list begins to take on a life of its own. And the main character, played by Boyko Krastanov, grows up and comes to know himself through it.
“All the Great Things” is a play about the long road we are willing to travel for the people we love. It will make you laugh, cry, think, and write down your own great things. The production strikes the perfect balance between our struggles in life and our ability to celebrate everything beautiful in it.
