Actors needed
The Merc Playhouse is looking for three cast members for its Readers Theater production of “The Lifespan of a Fact,” which will open in mid-April.
“The Lifespan of a Fact” is a stage adaption of a nonfiction book of the same title co-written by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal, which followed the real-life fact-checking process for a magazine-length narrative essay.
The cast is one woman and two men:
• The woman editor of a major national magazine.
• A just-out-of-college fact-checker for the magazine.
• A renowned national writer whose essay is being fact-checked.
Rehearsals will be in early April; there will likely be a few table readings before that. If interested, email editor@methowvalleynews.com. Scripts are available for review.
