Centenary Stage Company’s NEXTSTAGE Repertory is the student based performance division of Centenary University’s Theater Department highlighting the collaboration between Centenary University and the professional Centenary Stage Company.
Based upon the early sixteenth century morality play, “Everyman,” “Every(wo)man” is an exciting adaptation of the classical piece. Adapted by the cast and focusing on a woman title character the piece is directed by Assistant Professor of Theater Arts, Stephen Davis and features Centenary University Theater Department students. As a morality play, “Every(wo)man,” utilizes allegorical characters and religious themes to teach moral lessons. Although, mostly popular in Europe during the 15 and 16 centuries, Every(wo)man’s universal themes, ideas and messages are still relevant to contemporary audiences.
