The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

What would you take with you into the afterlife? Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s hilarious, biting, thought-provoking, and Pulitzer Prize finalist play, Everybody, is a contemporary take on the 15th-century morality play Everyman. As the character named “Everybody” journeys toward death, they reflect on a life too quickly coming to an end and beseech a colorful cast of characters, including Time, Friendship, Beauty, and Stuff, to accompany them into the afterlife.

Each night, an onstage lottery assigns cast members their roles –  making each performance unique and surprising. Irreverent, heartfelt, and enticingly unpredictable, Everybody invites us to laugh, reflect, and confront our inevitable end.

Thursday, November 13, will be a preview showing ($15 tickets for anyone)

Friday, November 14, is opening night, including a post-show reception with the company.

Thursday, November 22, will have a late-night post-show improv showcase by students.
