About the event

Lifespan of a Fact presented by Creative License
Creative License Theater Collective, the resident non-musical theater company at the historic Cohoes Music Hall, is proud to present its upcoming production of the critically acclaimed Broadway hit "The Lifespan of a Fact," running January 30 through February 8.

Based on the true story of the essayist John D’Agata’s essay "What Happens There," this blisteringly funny and high-stakes debate over the boundary between truth and accuracy is directed by Creative License co-founder Aaron Holbritter. The production features a dynamic cast of Capital Region talent, including Jacob Bell, Lisa Bryk, and Ian LaChance.

Jim Fingal (Bell) is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact-checker for a prominent but sinking high-brow magazine. His first assignment: fact-check a groundbreaking essay by legendary writer John D’Agata (LaChance). What begins as a routine job quickly spirals into a comedic and gripping battle as Jim discovers that much of the essay’s "truth" is actually made up. With the deadline looming, the magazine’s demanding editor, Emily Penrose (Bryk), must referee the showdown between a writer who values the poetry of the story and a fact-checker who values the cold, hard data.
"The Lifespan of a Fact" explores a question that is more relevant today than ever: Does the truth matter more than the facts?
