QUICK BRIGHT THINGS
by Christopher Cook WORLD PREMIERE

CONTEMPORARY: Nick travels home to Thunder Bay with his adopted son, Gerome,
to meet Gerome’s birth mother. The boy’s recent schizophrenia diagnosis has
everyone in turmoil, as the family embarks on an unforgettable weekend
to ’un-crazy’
Gerome and host his birth mother for dinner.  A touching, often hilarious,
and unabashedly honest play that gives a deeply authentic picture of mental
illness, at the same time reveling in the ‘ordinary craziness’ and intimacy
of family.
