ITS RAINING, but no fear, the show must go on! Tonight’s performance will take place in THE CHAPEL THEATRE! See you there!

Up next: EVERYBODY! Take a look inside the rehearsal process with the cast and director Gary DeWitt Marshall.

Cat Champlin, a senior double majoring in Theatre and Arts Management, plays the title character Everybody, who, as you might gather, represents everybody! “Everybody is just a regular person,” she shares. “We’re all human. We’re all the same underneath. We relate to other people a lot more than we think we do.”

Stay tuned for more rehearsal content this week! ‘Everybody’ opens March 17th at the Stern Center Garden—check the link in our bio for tickets!

We're taking our audience to the College’s lush Stern Center Garden, March 17-20, for our next production, “Everybody” — CofC Stages’ first main-season play presented outdoors in nearly 20 years. This modern riff on a 15th century morality play exploring the meaning of life is a topsy-turvy, madcap examination of the human condition. Written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, it is a wildly funny and provocative play, asking us to examine and question why we make the choices we make and how to best live life in our modern world.

“Everybody” is directed by new theatre faculty member Gary Dewitt Marshall, who brings to CofC professional experience in directing as well as acting in television, the silver screen, and Broadway.

Visit https://go.cofc.edu/everybody for more info + tickets.
***“Everybody” is the first full-length play produced by CofC Stages that incorporates live American Sign Language interpreters (March 19th, 2pm performance).

"Many of us have experienced periods of reflection throughout the pandemic, so I think this theme 'Once More' will resonate with many people as they watch the concert,” says Kristin Alexander, the artistic director of "Once More - A Dance Concert."

“After a year of shifting how we as choreographers and performing artists approached the creative process, it feels good to be revisiting work and finding connection with one another."
