Prices: $15 general admission, $5 youth, students, and seniors A mysterious figure tells you that you will have to die today. What do you do? Well, we hope you’ll laugh, for starters. Running Oct. 15-23, UMass Theater’s production of Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins follows an unfortunate soul grappling with their imminent death, while also confronting the important parts of their life…in a comedy? Yep. As Death personified says, “figure it out? What does it mean when God just leaves you to figure it out?” Figuring it out is a laugh-out-loud funny journey with these characters, who aren’t always their best — or smartest — selves in the moment. So, why a comedy about Death during a global pandemic? “We have entered a time in our history when we are reestablishing our relationship with death,” director Rudy Ramirez says. “Jacobs-Jenkins play asks us to see how death plays over different kinds of bodies so we can experience our profound differences with one another over a shared connection: we will come to an end.” Family, friends, money — what will matter the most to everybody in the end? What will become of Everybody in the end? What can we do in the meantime? “The fact that this play asks these questions with such a great sense of humor and a vivid theatricality makes it all the richer.” Actor Percy Hornak believes that the most important takeaway from the show is “you have so little control in the grand scheme of things. You have to be intentional about what you do have control over.” In this show, our actors are also presented with a unique challenge to their own control: Their character will be chosen randomly, giving us a different show: Every. Single. Night.  Come see this production (maybe more than once) to see what becomes of Everybody.
