This performance is sponsored by the Penn Associations of Senior & Retired Faculty (ASEF and PASEF).

A famous writer, a magazine editor, and a lowly fact-checker disagree about the meaning of words, truth, and art. This play comedy pits the three against one another and chaos ensues. Based on the book by John D ‘Agata and Jim Fingal – the real-life writer and fact-checker – The Lifespan of a Fact explores meaningful questions about truth vs. art.

Following the performance, Lantern Artistic Director Charles McMahon and the cast will hold a special Artists In

St. Stephen’s Theater 923 Ludlow St. Philadelphia

Conversation talkback for participating PENN faculty members and their guests.
