  3. The Lifespan of a Fact


Jim Fingal is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. John DAgata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boyan essay that could save the magazine from collapse. When Jim is assigned to fact check DAgatas essay, the two come head to head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth. Featuring David Liskow as Jim Fingal, Phil Hughes as John DAgata, and Krista Schafer Ewbank as Emily Penvose. Scenic design by Alexander Trice, Lighting Design by Harley Miah, Costume Design by Cheryl Zemke. Stage Managed by Samantha Silva.

After 18 months, Open Book Theatre is excited to open its doors to audiences once again. “We kept producing theatre in other ways, but there’s nothing like the energy of being in the room where it happens,” said Artistic Director Krista Schafer Ewbank. “The lights, the sound, the set….it all creates an experience that can’t be beat. Studies show that audience’s heartbeats sync during a live performance. You can get that from streaming Netflix.”
