THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT

by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell & Gordon Farrell, based on the essay and book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal
Directed by Mechelle Moe

CAT Tier 3
1st Rehearsal: October 3, 2023
1st Preview: November 1, 2023
Closing: December 23, 2023

SEEKING:

Jim Fingal, any race or ethnicity, 20s. A recent Harvard grad, he is a fact checking intern for a New
York magazine. He’s confident and sees the world in black and white - fact and fiction.

John D’Agata, any race or ethnicity, 40s-50s. He’s a talented writer whose recent transcendent essay
about the suicide of a teenage boy could save the magazine from collapse. He is less worried about
the facts of a story than the feeling and sense of a story.

Emily Penrose, any race or ethnicity, 40+. She is a fair but tough-minded editor of the magazine,
serving as the fulcrum of the argument. She sees publishing in the context of a deteriorating
ecosystem of knowledge, with enormous political and societal implications, but she also wants and
needs a transcendent story for the magazine.
