Abstract

This adaptation of Everyman was scheduled for production on the main stage in the Kline Theatre of Gettysburg College. With the onset of COVID-19 and the ensuing advent of distance-learning, that could no longer happen, and originally that was a crushing disappointment. But the show must go on, especially when that show is “Everyman,” an especially apt theatrical choice for a pestilential year. Everyman offers exciting possibilities for audio drama, especially considering the play’s emphasis on the internal struggle of the individual facing death; Everyone on Radio attempts to make the most of these aspects of the play. Never willing to blink in the face of doom, the students in this class rose to the occasion with incredible pluck, optimism, and good humor. In particular, Lauren “Helping” Hand, the peer associate for this year’s course, led the pivot to the podcast platform, and this production is as much hers as anyone’s: She was chief cheerleader, coordinator, and executive producer, in tandem with Joey “Magic Fingers” Maguschak, who acted as senior sound engineer and producer.
