Written by Tony Award-winning playwright Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, Everybody is the story of the titular character’s journey through death, meeting characters along the way such as Stuff, Kindness, Senses and Love, and discovering what really matters at the end of one’s life. The show is an adaptation of Everyman, a 15th-century morality play, but Jacobs-Jenkins’ take is much more modern and comedic in tone, with a script that even calls for the cast of “Somebodies” to be assigned a new role for each performance based on a lottery system. Everybody is the first of four productions inspired by pre-existing works that make up the 2024–2025 UGA Theatre season. Performances will be held Sept. 25–28 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 29 at 2 p.m.
