Production Notes
Closing production of Season 40, June 28–July 20, 2024, on the Inasmuch Foundation Stage. A press release describes it as a “lightning-fast comedy” examining the boundaries between fact-checking, artistry, and journalistic ethics. The play is based on John D’Agata and Jim Fingal’s book. Regular showtimes were Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., and a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.; exact Sunday date not specified by supplied announcement. Elin Bhaird also held an associate artistic director role at CST, separate from her stage performance; do not confuse institutional position with a show-specific creative credit. No stage manager, scenery, lighting, or costume designer has yet been verified for this production. Its completion marked the first full season in the new Reno Avenue home. Supported in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, Inasmuch Foundation, Kirkpatrick Family Fund, and Allied Arts.
