The Lifespan of a Fact

Are facts and truth in journalism that important? Can emotional truth be more important than fact? A new comedy playing at Carpenter Square Theatre June 28-July 20, 2024 wrestles with those questions in a plot that involves an essay writer, his editor, and a young fact checker she hires. All performances are at the theatre’s new venue located at 1009 W. Reno in downtown Oklahoma City. Specific dates and times are: 8 p.m. Fridays -Saturdays, June 28-29. July 5-6, 12-13 and 19-20; 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, July 11 and 18, and 2 p.m. Sunday, July 14. “The Lifespan of a Fact,” a lightning fast comedy by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell, and Gordon Farrell is based on the book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal, and D’Agata and Fingal are two of the characters in the play.
