"The Summoning of Everyman" -- FINAL WEEKEND! November 22-24, 2013

The Summoning of Everyman is a rare opportunity to artistically reflect on life and how we perceive death. It's a journey worth taking. -- DC Metro Theater Arts

Edge of the Universe Players 2 present the timeless Medieval morality play, The Summoning of Everyman. God becomes angry at human behavior and orders Death to summon Everyman to trial. Great entertainment that explores subjects at the heart of human existence.

Join our group of Traveling Players and Musicians as they enact the story of Everyman, filled with suspense, music, dance, humor, and the depths of emotion.

Director Stephen Jarrett’s company has put on a version of the play which is accessible, clear and, in its final moments, moving. -- DC Theatre Scene
