2026-2027 Performances

Performance, production, and community events

Anne Simley Theatre

Everybody, a dark comedy riffing on a medieval morality play, explores the journey to meet Death 鈥� a journey that everybody must make. An onstage lottery at the start of each performance determines, in real time, which actor from the cast will play each role: a dance of fate, randomness, and meta-theatricality that invites us all to partake. The show is directed by Laura Dougherty and will run roughly 90 minutes with no intermission.

An ensemble-devised performance piece directed by Asher Gettings ('27), The Most Important Part will be collaboratively developed around a medley of phrases in a number of performance styles which repeat again and again -- cracking, growing, and building on themselves until their emotional heart is revealed.
