MENTAL HEALTH AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE
EVERY BRILLIANT THING by DUNCAN MACMILLAN with JONNY DONAHOE
TAKES THE STAGE AT FALCON THEATRE

“[A] heart-wrenching, hilarious play…One of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, full stop…There is something tough being confronted here—the guilt of not being able to make those we love happy—and it is explored with unflinching honesty.” —The Guardian (UK)

PRODUCTION RUNS MARCH 17 THROUGH APRIL 1, 2023

(Newport, KY) — Falcon Theatre continues their successful 2022-23 season with the phenomenal, Every Brilliant Thing.

Every Brilliant Thing deftly balances humor, sincerity and sensitivity to create a unique night of theater.  This is a story told by one actor about a list she started when she was seven years old. The list of “every brilliant thing” in the world begins as a reaction to her mother’s mental health and grows throughout the production into a throughline for her life and her own struggles with mental health. The end result is beautifully captivating, eye-wateringly funny and completely unforgettable.

This joyfully touching production is directed by Tracy M. Schoster and features Eileen Earnest as the solo performer.

Performances are March 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 31 & April 1, 2023. All performances at 8:00 PM. Ticket prices are $28 for adults and $15 for students with valid ID. Visit falcontheater.net for details and to reserve your seats.

THE BATTLE OF FACTS VERSUS TRUTH

THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT BY JEREMY KARAKEN, DAVID MURRRELL & GORDON FARRELL TAKES THE STAGE AT FALCON THEATRE

“…buoyantly literate…wholly resonant questions [are] wrestled with in this briskly entertaining play…you’ll find yourself happy to have your preconceptions disturbed and assumptions unsettled.” —Washington Post

PRODUCTION RUNS JANUARY 27 THROUGH FEBRUARY 11, 2023

(Newport, KY) — Falcon Theatre begins 2023 with the 2018 Broadway hit, The Lifespan of a Fact.

The Lifespan of a Fact soberly examines the question, “Are truth and fact necessarily the same thing?” When magazine intern Jim Fingal is assigned to fact-check a piece by renowned writer John D’Agata, battle lines are quickly drawn. Fingal’s eye for factual detail contrasts starkly with the more seasoned author’s goal of telling the most compelling story…a story not perfectly aligned with the facts of the incident on which it is based.

The 2018 Broadway opening of The Lifespan of a Fact featured Daniel Radcliff, Bobby Cannavale and Cherry Jones.

This resonant, timely, and challenging production is directed by Ed Cohen and features a cast that includes Susan Jung, Christopher Wells and Jay Woffington.

Performances are January 27, 28, and February 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 & 11, 2023. All performances at 8:00 PM. Ticket prices are $28 for adults and $15 for students with valid ID. Visit falcontheater.net for details and to reserve your seats.
