Upcoming Shows

Up Next: Lifespan of a Fact

starts June 20, 2024

By Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell
based on the book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal
Directed by Jessica Holt

Intimate. Intriguing. Insouciant.

An intern at a top magazine is given the assignment of a lifetime – fact-checking a masterpiece by a legendary essayist. What the no-nonsense editor means as a simple task becomes a hilarious misadventure when it becomes clear that most of the facts in the essay are embellished, adjusted, or just made up. The essay is brilliant, but has the essayist undermined his own work or revealed a deeper truth by playing fast and loose to make his point? Facts battle with truth when the intern bucks his instructions and confronts the essayist in this Broadway hit.

 

“Spry humor, rippling tension and provocative reflections… ingenious!” - Hollywood Reporter

As one of the storytellers for our community, we feel it is important to welcome the whole community, not just a part of it. We provide these themed evenings to be mindful and intentional about including those who are generally marginalized in our larger community. And to provide a safe and supportive experience for them. A “third place”, if you will, where one can express themselves freely, meet like-minded individuals, and build connections. We hope you will join us!
