Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground

August 11 - September 13, 2026

Summer 1962. Two years after leaving office, Dwight D. Eisenhower opens The New York Times to find himself called “Mediocre” in the first historians’ ranking of American presidents. Stung and intrigued, Ike takes us on a candid, often hilarious journey through his life: his Kansas boyhood, his WWII command, and the defining decisions of his presidency. A funny, revealing, and electrifying solo performance, Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground challenges what true greatness means — and reminds us why courage, humor, and integrity stand at the heart of democracy.

A young Harvard grad is hired to fact-check a celebrated author’s essay for a struggling New York magazine — and sparks fly. Their clash over truth, art, and the meaning of accuracy quickly turns into a witty, fast-paced, and fiercely intelligent battle. Funny, provocative, and uncannily timely, The Lifespan of a Fact asks what matters more: the story or the facts, and whether a great work of art can survive scrutiny. A sharp, laugh-out-loud exploration of truth, trust, and the art of getting it right.
