THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT Now Extended at Oil Lamp Theater
Performances will now run through April 13.
Oil Lamp Theater’s The Lifespan of a Fact, written by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, is now extended through April 13. The Lifespan of a Fact is directed by Oil Lamp's Artistic Director Elizabeth Mazur Levin and its performance schedule is Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 3 and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. with additional performances Wednesday, April 2 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
This sharp, witty, and thought-provoking play challenges the boundaries of journalism and ethics as truth and creative license collide. A recent Harvard grad fact checks the work of a prominent writer and delves into the complexities of truth in a world where facts can be slippery and perspective can change everything.
