Culture Crawl 839 “It’s About Death. But Funny”

Riverside Theatre presents “Everybody,” a play where the actors don’t know who is playing which part until after they cast lots right before the show begins!

This is a new work by acclaimed playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, which riffs off a 15th Century work. In addition to the conceit of assigning roles literally at the last minute, the language and setting have been updated to speak to a modern audience about life’s greatest mystery: our mortality.

Guest director Jacob Titus and Riverside theatre head Adam Knight break down this unique play.

July 21-Aug. 6 at Riverside Theatre. More info and tickets at www.riversidetheatre.org.
