Publicity and Reviews
Director and assistant director, Rusty Wilson and Tim Glover, create this metaphysical reality by seamlessly immersing the audience in the experience so that we “truly feel it.” The story is light and amusing, sprinkled with moments of great insight, heaviness, and pain, and an analogy for our beautiful and complex life journey… You’ll leave feeling full of thought and rich with insight.
— Susanna Wu-Pong Calvert, Richmond Family Magazine (June 8, 2022)
"Everybody is an insightful, comical play that addresses the idea of and emotions associated with death. This Cadence Theatre production of Everybody seamlessly blends the introduction into the play with modern, relevant humor. The performance given by the talented eleven person cast was captivating and quite hilarious. Each actor brings their own flair as the audience is guided through “Everybody’s” journey to death. The lighting, music, and the short dance are set perfectly to engage each audience member. This production will have you laughing in just about every scene, and will leave you pondering existential questions, such as the meaning of life and death."
