Why let the truth get in the way of a good story? That is a question THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT explores when Davidson Community Players presents this contemporary, fast-paced comedy April 9 through April 26, 2026, at the Armour Street Theatre.

Directed by Frannie Williams, the play explores the ethics of journalism and the fine line between fact and interpretation as it follows a young Harvard-educated fact checker who clashes with a celebrated writer over an essay that could save a struggling New York magazine. As their battle over details intensifies, the debate becomes both hilarious and thought-provoking, a dynamic that feels especially relevant in today’s social media-driven culture. Evening performances begin at 7:30 pm, with Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm. Recommended ages 15 and up.

As he approaches the end of a lengthy prison sentence, Oedipus is ready to taste his long-awaited freedom. But liberation comes at a price, and life on the outside proves its own kind of prison ruled by a cruel and violent fate. Based on Sophocles’ classic tale, Oedipus El Rey is an urgent examination of modern institutions, social barriers and the power of storytelling for those bold enough to challenge the gods of our time.
Oedipus El Rey is published as part of The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro. Based on Sophocles' Electra and Oedipus, and Euripides' Medea, Alfaro's Electricidad, Oedipus El Rey, and Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles platform the concerns of the Chicano and wider Latino communities in Los Angeles and New York through ancient drama. Three Bone Theatre is proud to produce all three works of this trilogy across three seasons.

"An adaptation that feels both urgently relevant and timeless…Alfaro illuminates the ancient themes of the Oedipus story in thrillingly modern ways, giving us a new appreciation for the myth.” - THEATREMANIA

“…OEDIPUS EL REY dazzles…[it] strikes to the bone of one of our more disturbing ancient legends and gives it new, breathtakingly vital life.” - SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS


“What Sophocles left offstage—the violence, the sex—[OEDIPUS EL REY] confidently stages…This gives [the play] swagger, oomph and economy... a grim and dynamic reminder that…stories matter, old ones and new ones, true ones and fake ones.” - NEW YORK TIMES

Great poems are not born by autogenesis, or even by a talented muse. They are revised and polished into more perfect being by a craftsperson who takes care to utilize all the tools of the lyric trade to enhance the poem’s potential impact on the reader. In this presentation, we will pay close attention to the visual architecture of poems, their aural structures, effective use of punctuation, evocative imagery and metaphor, balance, proportion, and radiance, and creating a powerful overall impression.

The Storyteller’s Shift is an engaging conversation featuring Molly Grantham and Sarah Archer exploring the evolving craft of storytelling, journalism, and the path from reporting the news to writing deep personal narratives. Sponsored by the Charlotte Writers Club.

Who do you trust when every story has three sides? “Actually”, an edge-of-your-seat two-person play by Anna Ziegler, explores the complicated issues of sexual consent, race, and gender. The Los Angeles Times describes it as “Gripping. Beautifully rendered and complex. Destined to trigger discussion.”

The story follows Amber and Tom, two Princeton freshmen whose lives change after a possibly non-consensual sexual encounter. Named a Critic's Pick by New York Magazine and Time Out NY, the play uses a direct, confrontational style to show both sides of one night. This thought-provoking drama is ideal for college students, adults, and anyone facing the challenges of finding the truth in 2026. Directed by Amy Wada and featuring Dionte Darko and Luna Mackie.

Running April 25-May 3 at Armour Street Theatre in Davidson

Recommended for ages 17+. Contains adult content and frank discussions of sexual assault.
