The Pitch Review by Brock Wilbur
"Dri Hernaez’s take of dopey TikTok star flooded with sudden empathy with Clare is
simply a tour-de-force
—not just in line delivery but in every small glance and facial twitch throughout the show’s runtime."

Closing out a lively Season 21 is a Pulitzer Prize-finalist that is probably unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. From Tony Award-winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins comes Everybody, a modern riff on the 15th Century morality play, Everyman. Follow the main character of “Everybody,” as they journey through life’s greatest mystery: its own meaning. It’s a “meta and saucy adaptation” (Time Out New York) with a special twist, where the role of “Everybody” is chosen by lottery every night. A play that will be different every night you see it, so you’re going to want to see it multiple times!
