- **Event Description**: Dive into the wild ride of truth and journalism where facts meet fun!About this EventThe Lifespan of a FactThe Varsity and Varsity Productions invite you to join us in The Balcony for an exciting live theater event that takes us through twists and turns of facts and storytelling. Whether you're a journalism junkie or just curious, this is your chance to explore how facts somehow change and sometimes get stretched. Don't miss out on this fun look at the art of editorial storytelling, truth, and debate!The Lifespan of a Fact by Jeremy Kareken & David Murell, and Gordon Farrell is based on the book of the same title by John D'Agata and Jim Fingal. The three-member cast are employees of a major magazine: the editor, a writer, and a fact-checker. Each shares the overall goal of the publication's success, and they become at odds with one another over matters of journalistic integrity. The play juxtaposes the concepts of accuracy and truth. The dialogue is simultaneously hilarious and thought-provoking, and it’s the type of play that will stick in one’s memory for years to come. Viewer discretion: while the work is quite funny, audience members should be advised that the difficult matter of self-harm is a key subject within the narrative of this story.The Lifespan of a Fact is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service, www.concordtheatricals.com, and is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council.   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/5ff040a0-a5f4-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1200-h240-dce8d878-gmir.jpg
