The cast of The Lifespan of a Fact is over a week into rehearsals for this smart comedy about facts, fiction, and everything that lies in between. Can you beat them at their own game? Each cast member provided two truths and one lie about themselves. Read through and see if you can guess which is which as you get to know them a little bit better! (answers below!)

BONUS!
Lindsey Moss* is back at NC Stage as the Production Stage Manager for The Lifespan of a Fact! Lindsey is no stranger to NC Stage, having been here as the Stage Manager for The Twelve Dates of Christmas (twice!), and most recently as the run crew for Jeeves Intervenes. She was a regular for many years at Flat Rock Playhouse as well as Triad Stage, and this show couldn’t happen without her. So last, but certainly not least, we have three fun tidbits from Lindsey about her life outside the theatre. Which is true? Which is false? It’s up to you to decide!
- I’ve sky dived over Maui.
- I was chased by a bear in Yellowstone Park.
- I’ve thrown a pitch at Fenway Park.
