The Joslyn Center is casting a reading of The Lifespan of a Fact by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, as part of our 2020 Reading Series, which includes readings of seven challenging plays for the communities of the Coachella Valley, CA in our Arthur Newman Theatre. The play, produced on Broadway in 2018, is about media, journalism, and alternative facts--itself based on true events.
