THEA 481 Class Production “Everybody”

Please join the Theatre Department as they present EVERYBODY by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins as the THEA 481 class project.

Directed by sophomore Meredith Grimm-Howell

THE STORY: This modern riff on the fifteenth-century morality play Everyman follows Everybody (chosen from amongst the cast by lottery at each performance) as they journey through life’s greatest mystery—the meaning of living. Finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize.

“This is theatre rather unlike anything you might have seen…unusual, unconventional and eye-opening…Everyman is no barrel of laughs, being a morality play about death. EVERYBODY tells the same tale, with equal emotional heft; but it is not only provocative and involving, it is also funny. Wildly funny, in fact.” —Huffington Post.  “[EVERYBODY] fills the heart in a new and unexpected way.” —The New Yorker.

Admission information: Tickets are $3 and will be available at boxoffice.truman.edu one week before the show opens, or at the ticket window on the evening of the performances.
