Fri Feb 19 – Sat Mar 6
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's rewriting of the fifteenth-century morality play Everyman, in which the actor who plays Everybody is drawn by lottery at each performance and the rest of the cast reshuffles into whatever parts are left. Death comes for Everybody, who then tries to persuade Friendship, Kinship and the others to come along. It was a Pulitzer finalist in 2018.
Fri May 7 – Sat May 22
Kate Hamill's adaptation of Austen plays the marriage plot fast and broad, with heavy doubling, slapstick and a cast that never leaves the stage. Hamill wrote it for herself as Elizabeth Bennet, and it has become one of the most produced plays in the United States. Burlington Players close their season with it.

Nora and Delia Ephron's play, adapted from Ilene Beckerman's book, is a set of monologues and ensemble pieces in which women recall their lives through what they were wearing — mothers, prom dresses, the first bra, handbags they hated, and the reason the wardrobe ends up entirely black. Five actors play every part.
