Lifespan of a Fact
April 15 - May 3, 2026 THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell & Gordon Farrell Directed by MATT PFEIFFER Based on the critically-acclaimed book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal. An eager intern at a top literary magazine is given a career-making assignment: fact- checking a new work by celebrated author John D’Agata, who has just written a groundbreaking magazine essay. But is the story true? When the world’s most neurotically precise fact-checker starts dissecting the author’s work, it begins to split at the seams. As the final deadline looms, hard facts square off against emotional truths in a funny and searing high-stakes showdown. "Terrifically engaging” - New York Times "An absolute must-see." -The Cincinnati Enquirer "One of the most profound moments I’ve ever experienced in a theatre." - Behind The Curtain
