The Lifespan of a Fact
Contributed by Garry F. Forrester
The Lifespan of a Fact is a timely portrayal of how information can be presented, situations can be interpreted, and how circumstances can be seen through the window of emotion or the lens of hard fact. Jim Fingal is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. John D’Agata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy—an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. When Jim is assigned to fact check D’Agata’s essay, the two come head to head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth. Please be aware that this show has mature themes, adult language, and discussions regarding those affected by the trauma of suicide.
The Lifespan of a Fact opens January 13th and runs through January 29th. Ticket prices are $19 Regular Admission, $17 Seniors 65+/Students 18 and younger. The production will be at Valley Performing Arts, 251 W. Swanson Avenue, in Wasilla.
