Reno, NV.  Brüka Theatre invites you to Lifespan Of A Fact a fast-paced truish story that explodes with blistering comedy and timely relevance. Facts become blurry when they’re twisted into fiction in the high-stakes world of publishing. Emily Penrose, the demanding editor-in-chief of a high-end magazine, hires a determined millennial fact-checker named Jim Fingal to work on a groundbreaking essay written by the famous author John D’Agata. The deadline is tight, the essay is dense, and everyone must make a good faith effort in telling the story honestly. But the overly eager Jim takes his fact-checking way too far, creating the ultimate showdown of fact versus fiction in this critically acclaimed 2018 Broadway play. The show features Bob Ives, Kathy Welch and Ryan Corrigan.
