Southwestern University Sarofim Outdoor Theatre

Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is a modern adaptation of Everyman. What makes this play unique is that this is a lottery show where five actors have to learn and prepare to play one of five roles including the lead character of Everybody.
​
The show was double casted and while I was assigned the blue cast the entire stage management team worked and assisted with both sets of cast. This was my second outdoor production at Southwestern University. At the start of the rehearsal process I was still working on Album and had to balance two projects at once.
​
Because this was during the COVID-19 pandemic I had to communicate safety protocols throughout the process and oversee its implementation backstage during the performance and work with the actors virtually during rehearsals.
​
What makes this show unique to manage was that this actors fulfill different roles in a lottery. When giving line notes and stage direction we had to be understanding that the actors had to adapt on the fly, but as the ASM It was my job to make sure that the crew knew who was playing what to prepare quick changes, projections had the right set of slides, and the mic technicians knew which of their mic cues they were using each night.
