CCM Play Series presents "Everybody" Oct. 5-7

The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music Acting department opens its 2023-24 season with Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Everybody on October 5-7 in CCM's Cohen Family Studio Theater. Tickets are on sale now through the CCM Box Office.

A modernized retelling of the 15th-century morality play Everyman, the play dives into some of life's most challenging philosophical questions. Viewers are whisked along a fanciful and bizarre journey of life and death, exploring the core of human experience. Humanizing abstract concepts, Everybody has characters such as “Death,” “God,” “Love” and “Evil,” creating a space where we can witness them interact with “Everybody” as equals.

Please note there is a content advisory for this production: Partial nudity (performers in underclothing), strong language, mature themes, discussions of death and dying, and performers interacting with audience members.

“What would you have to say if Death knocked on your door?” questions Rebecca Bromels, Division Head of CCM Theatre Arts, Production and Arts Administration. “Playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins breathes new life into old philosophical questions with a show both hilarious and poignant.”
