Directed by Javier Hurtado

Everybody is a modern retelling of the 15th-century morality tale The Summoning of Everyman. Join Friendship, Kinship, Stuff, Mind, Five Senses, and Understanding as they guide Everybody on their journey through life and destiny and towards Love. Jacobs-Jenkins plays with fate through a casting lottery system and muses on the immorality of racism of our times. This production is Professor Javier Hurtado’s directorial debut at CSU.

Director’s Note: This updated retelling of Everyman – CSU’s Fall 2024 production of Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins’ Everybody – is a surreal meditation on what it means to hold on and what it takes to let go. Audiences can expect a different show every night since, just as in life, chance and fate have a significant role to play. The play is performed by an ensemble cast that has memorized the whole script because they discover what role they will play for each performance along with the audience when they draw that role, live, onstage, during the show! Everybody asks big questions and tells a timeless story with heart, energy, humor, and humanity.

Content Warning: This production includes adult language, themes, and scenes with nudity. Not appropriate for all ages.
