Everybody, a play by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins

Anne Simley Theatre

Everybody, a dark comedy riffing on a medieval morality play, explores the journey to meet Death — a journey that everybody must make. An onstage lottery at the start of each performance determines, in real time, which actor from the cast will play each role: a dance of fate, randomness, and meta-theatricality that invites us all to partake. The show is directed by Laura Dougherty and will run roughly 90 minutes with no intermission. Check back soon for a link to buy tickets.
