Everybody, a play written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, is a reflective piece of theater, a poetic exchange of dialogue and in its purest form, a true example of a morality play. Based on the original 15th century morality play Everyman, this modern-day adaptation thematizes God and Death in a seamlessly metaphorical construct, interwoven with its own flare for comedic satire. 

Dramaturgy plays a key component in the world of storytelling. To put it simply, it provides us with historical background and contextual understanding. In doing so, dramaturges inevitably become pioneers for social and cultural awareness. Dramaturgy is based on research and analysis. It asks you to examine the different layers of a given show, whether it be its historical, social, cultural and/or political backbone. More so, it encourages us to take that new-found knowledge and apply it to ourselves, as thespians and as people.
