Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe and Law & Order's Mariska Hargitay both have performed in the one-act show
Hillsborough County, Fla. (April 7, 2026) - Tampa Reparatory Theatre is bringing a show to Tampa audiences in May that has been moving Broadway audiences this year with Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe.
Every Brilliant Thing has been a smash hit on Broadway. The interactive, one-act play takes audiences on a journey of a 7-year-old working to cheer up a depressed mother.
Award-winning actor Ned Averill-Snell reprises his celebrated performance in this play about depression and how far we'll go for those we love.
You're six years old. Mom's in the hospital. Dad says she's "done something stupid." She finds it hard to be happy. So, you start to make a list of everything that's brilliant about the world. Everything that's worth living for.
1. Ice cream.
2. Kung Fu movies.
17. Burning things.
54. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out of your nose.
You leave it on her pillow. You know she's read it because she's corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own.
Every Brilliant Thing is showing at New Tampa Performing Arts Center Saturday May 2, at 8 p.m. and again Sunday May 3, at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $20 - $27.50 depending on seat selection and can be purchased here. Select tickets are available for $10 through NTPAC's Affordable Art commitment.
