Parker Players Theater Company

Parker Players Theater Company brings audiences a gripping, fast-moving theatrical showdown with The Lifespan of a Fact—a smart, funny, and incisive play that turns a simple editing job into an all-out battle over truth.
When a celebrated writer submits a powerful essay about Las Vegas and a tragic teenage suicide, it lands on the desk of an ambitious young fact-checker tasked with verifying every detail. What should be routine quickly unravels. Numbers shift. Descriptions are slightly off. Small discrepancies begin to pile up.
And then the real question emerges:
Do the facts matter… or does the story?
As the fact-checker pushes for accuracy, the writer pushes back—defending each change as a deliberate artistic choice. What begins as a professional disagreement explodes into a high-stakes clash over credibility, creativity, and control. Caught in the middle is an editor racing against the clock, trying to hold everything together before it falls apart.
What follows is a rapid-fire exchange packed with wit, tension, and surprising humor. Every claim is challenged. Every assumption is tested. And just when you think you’ve chosen a side, the play pulls you in the opposite direction.
Based on a real-life literary controversy, The Lifespan of a Fact dives into questions that feel more relevant than ever: How much can a story be shaped before it stops being true? When does interpretation become distortion? And who decides what’s real?
At once entertaining and thought-provoking, this is a battle of wits that will keep you leaning forward—and talking long after the final moment.
