Everybody

by Brandon Jacob Jenkins

Role: Somebody (Friendship/ Kinship/ Cousin/ Stuff/ Stength/ Beauty/ Mind/ Five Senses)

Directed by Vanessa Severo

“… five core actors (Elaine Elizabeth Clifford, Dri Hernaez, Mateo Moreno, Julie Shaw and R.H. Wilhoit) must memorize and rehearse all of these roles, and be prepared to play any of them on any given night. It’s likely that the particular combination of actors and characters seen by a given audience will not be repeated again in the show’s entire run. The concept adds a sense of excitement but it’s also thematically fitting, underscoring the randomness and universality of death. “Everybody” really can be anybody, and were any one of us tasked with presenting a report of our life before God, we would be just as lost.”
