Why let the truth get in the way of a good story? That is the question audiences will explore when Davidson Community Players presents The Lifespan of a Fact, a sharp, fast-paced comedy about the ethics of journalism and the fine line between fact and interpretation. The production runs April 9 through April 26, 2026, at the Armour Street Theatre.
Directed by Frannie Williams, the play follows a young Harvard-educated fact checker who clashes with a celebrated writer over an essay that could save a struggling New York magazine. As their battle over details intensifies, the debate becomes both hilarious and thought-provoking. In a social media-driven culture where information moves quickly and perspectives collide, this contemporary drama feels especially relevant. Evening performances begin at 7:30 pm, with Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm.
