For most plays, the audience knows which actors will be playing which characters. It’s one of the few certainties in theater. But at Everybody by 12 Peers Theater at the Cathedral of Learning, a twist on the 15th century play Everyman, the lead character is chosen from the cast by lottery for each performance, as they “travel down a road toward life's greatest mystery.” There are 120 possible casting combinations, so you could see it every night of its run and not see the same show twice.
