It's not very often that an actor finds out they've got the lead role the night of the performance. But that's the case in "Everybody," a modern take on the 15th century morality play, "Everyman."  The Catamounts, a Boulder-based theater company, is staging it through Oct. 12. Actor Peter Trinh is one of the ensemble cast members and has to be prepared to play the lead with no notice.
