Auditions: September 6th and 8th (Su, T), 7PM; Owen theatre.  

Show dates: November 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, 15th (F, S, Su).  

Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. Prepared monologues are encouraged, but not required. Expect to demonstrate your ability to take direction.  

The Lifespan of a Fact is a story about the definition of truth and the ethics surrounding who decides what that definition is. It is a reflection on whether the emotional truth of a story is more or less important than the specific details and if one aspect can or should be sacrificed to support the others. 

The players:  

JIM - (Presents male; aged 20s; open ethnicity) Youthful, at the beginning of his career, Jim is idealistic but inexperienced and determined to prove himself. Truth is objective.  

EMILY - (Presents female; aged late 30s or older; open ethnicity) Practical but not jaded, Emily is in charge and is experienced and comfortable in that role. Truth is negotiable.  

JOHN - (presents male; aged 40s or older; open ethnicity) Used to automatic respect, John expects deference; he is not just experienced, he is acclaimed. Truth is subjective.   

The play as a whole takes no sides, and the audience takes the role of jury.   

Actors should bring a list of all potential conflict from audition dates until show dates, resume and headshot if available.
