If you have ever written a “gratitude list”, this hilarious, heartbreaking and delightfully surprising interactive play is for you.

When a woman goes into the hospital because she finds it “hard to be happy”, her 6-year-old daughter starts writing her a list of all the brilliant things in life worth living for. No. 1: “Ice cream”, No. 25: “Wearing a cape”, No. 317: “The even numbered Star Trek films”. Told with the help of the audience, this critically acclaimed Off-Broadway hit will make you laugh, cry, and remind you of all the large and small miracles in life.

THIS PRODUCTION WILL BE SEATING 24 LUCKY PEOPLE ON-STAGE FOR $20. Throughout the play, the actress will travel on and off the stage enabling the entire audience to participate in helping her tell the story.
