SUMMARY:Playhouse on Park Presents The Lifespan of a Fact
DESCRIPTION:A sharp\, thought-provoking comedy runs April 15 through May 3\, 2026 at Playhouse on Park\, 244 Park Road\, West Hartford\, CT 06119. \nBased on a true story and the acclaimed book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal\, The Lifespan of a Fact explores the tension between truth and storytelling in a fast-paced\, high-stakes newsroom setting. The play follows an ambitious intern tasked with fact-checking an essay by a celebrated writer—only to find himself locked in a battle between factual accuracy and artistic expression. \nWritten by Jeremy Kareken\, David Murrell\, and Gordon Farrell\, the production blends humor and intensity as deadlines loom and perspectives clash. The result is a witty and compelling examination of truth\, integrity\, and the stories we choose to tell. \nDirected by Matt Pfeiffer\, the cast features Shannon Michael Wamser as John D’Agata\, Suzanne O’Donnell as Emily Penrose\, and Edward Montoya as Jim Fingal. \nPreview performances take place April 15–16\, with regular performances scheduled April 17 through May 3. Showtimes include evenings\, weekend matinees\, and select weekday performances. Special discounted morning performances will be held April 23 and May 1 at 10:30 am. \nTickets range from $35 for previews to $45–$55 for regular performances\, with discounts available for seniors\, military\, and patrons under 40. \nFor tickets and more information\, visit playhouseonpark.org or call 860-523-5900 ext. 10.

SUMMARY:Primary Trust at Westport Country Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:A moving and intimate new play takes the stage from April 14 through May 2\, 2026 at Westport Country Playhouse\, 25 Powers Court\, Westport\, CT 06880. \nWinner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize\, Eboni Booth’s Primary Trust is a thoughtful and uplifting exploration of friendship\, change\, and personal growth. The story follows Kenneth\, a man whose carefully structured life is disrupted when he loses his long-held job. Encouraged by his best friend Bert and shaped by a series of unexpected encounters\, Kenneth begins to step beyond his comfort zone and discover new possibilities. \nBlending humor\, heart\, and quiet introspection\, the play offers a deeply human look at resilience and the transformative power of connection. As Kenneth navigates uncertainty\, even the smallest interactions take on profound meaning in this gentle yet powerful narrative. \nPerformances run April 14 through May 2\, with showtimes scheduled throughout the run\, including evening performances at 7 pm and 8 pm and select matinees at 2 pm and 3 pm. \nFor tickets and more information\, visit westportplayhouse.org.
