Black Hills Community Theatre concludes its 57th Season with the surprising Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. Follow Everybody as they journey through life’s greatest mystery—the meaning of living. Who will complete the journey with Everybody - all the way from life to after-life? This modern riff on the fifteenth-century morality play Everyman humorously and poignantly answers the question: What can we hold onto as we face our ultimate fear and what does it mean to live as a flawed and vulnerable human being? Everybody has a unique twist in that the cast of six "somebodies" don't know what role they will play each night until the performance has already started. The cast chooses their roles by lottery during every performance, making every night a completely new experience with different actors taking on different parts in various combinations.
This modern parable for adults contains adult situations and adult language. -
