ABOUT THE SHOW

Critically acclaimed, this fast-paced story explodes with blistering comedy and timely relevance. Facts become blurry when they’re twisted into fiction in the high-stakes world of publishing. The deadline is tight, the essay is dense, and everyone must make a good faith effort in telling the story honestly. But when someone takes their fact-checking way too seriously, the ultimate showdown of fact versus fiction erupts.​

 

This production is part of new ETC NEXT program which seeks to provide our audience with theatre that is edgy, thought-provoking, conversation-starting, and more!

CASTING FOR THE FOLLOWING ROLES

 

Jim Fingal, male, any race or ethnicity, age 20-30 or can play 20s. A fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. He’s an intern with a confidence beyond his years (and perhaps beyond his reality) in his knowledge and sense of the clear black and white of facts in the world.

​

 

John D’Agata, male, any race or ethnicity, age is flexible. He’s a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy—an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. He is less worried about facts than the flow of his story and sure his audience will be, too.

​

 

Emily Penrose, female, any race or ethnicity, age flexible. She is the 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.
