Tickets are now on sale for The Lifespan of a Fact, the latest featured performance at Parker Players Theater Company directed by Barrington’s own, Dominic Green. There are fourteen performances scheduled between April 24th and May 17th, 2026 so phone a friend and reserve your seats today!
By Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, The Lifespan of a Fact is based on a real-life literary showdown featuring a young, ambitious fact-checker assigned to verify an essay by a celebrated author. What begins as routine editing quickly spirals into a high-stakes battle over accuracy, artistic license, ego, and integrity.
Witty, timely, and surprisingly funny, this is a play for anyone who cares about journalism, storytelling, and the power of words. This intimate, high-voltage three-person drama pulls the audience into the heart of the debate – asking not just what is true, but who gets to decide. You will not want to miss the sparks fly in the black box space at Parker Players Theater Company!
If you love smart, thrilling theater that keeps you leaning forward, this one is not to be missed. Warning: This play may cause you to question everything you think you know.
