Everybody
By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins – Pulitzer Prize Finalist & MacArthur “Genius” Grant Recipient
Directed by TBD

What happens when Death comes knocking? In Everybody, a bold and theatrical reimagining of the 15th-century morality play Everyman, acclaimed playwright
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins delivers a witty, provocative, and unexpectedly moving meditation on life, death, and the human condition.

A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and winner of an Obie Award for Best New American Play, Jacobs-Jenkins is one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary theatre. A recipient of the prestigious MacArthur “Genius” Grant, he’s known for deconstructing classic forms with biting humor, poetic insight, and fearless theatricality.

In this groundbreaking play, the role of “Everybody” is chosen by lottery at each performance, making every show a truly unique experience. As the title character
journeys toward the end of life, they seek companionship from abstract concepts like Friendship, Kinship, and Love — with surprising results.

​

Darkly funny, soul-stirring, and deeply human, Everybody is a theatrical experience unlike any other — a modern riff on an age-old question: what truly matters in the end?

ABET invites you to take the journey with Everybody — where no two nights are ever the same, and the destination is universal.
