Everybody
A CMU Studio Production
Written by Branden Jacob Jenkins
Directed by Mac Hamstra
Costume Design by Aleigha Cheng
A modern take on the morality play, EveryMan, Everybody follows the process of death with heavy comedy and cynicism.
5 actors in this production played an ensemble of Somebodies. These Somebodies participated in a raffle every night in order to assign their roles, which were different every performance.
RESEARCH:
Process:
Aleigha created a dressing sheet including what each actor would wear for each possible character, including a total of 25 possible character and actor pairings.
With a budget of $0, Aleigha collaborated with the actors, sourcing as much as possible from their closets, and buying the rest of the needed garments 2nd hand.
By creating a similar base between all of the Somebodies, she emphasized the importance of the added accessories to define each character.
The Result!!!
