World Premiere of Alix Sobler's HINDSIGHT to be Presented by Fault Line Theatre

Fault Line Theatre will present the world premiere of Alix Sobler's play Hindsight directed by Founding Artistic Director Aaron Rossini this September 18 - October 23, 2021 at the Paradise Factory (64 East 4th Street, New York, NY 10003).

In the theater, there has always been a grey area between what is fact and what is fiction. Grey areas can lead to confusion, disaster, and violence - especially when it comes to the news and our politics. Where did it all begin? In Hindsight, an intrepid playwright traces the problem back to 1987 and the abolishment of the Fairness Doctrine. But as she builds her case, the facts, historical characters, and her own memories refuse to cooperate. Is it possible to trace our problems as a nation back to one decision made in the 80s? And if so, is a play really the right place to unpack this conversation? Like an episode of "John Oliver" crashing headfirst into a production of Our Town, Hindsight is a comedy that asks questions about how we communicate when we can't even get our facts straight.

Hindsight performs Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM. Tickets (priced $26 - $36) are now available at: FaultLineTheatre.org

The company of Hindsight features Andrea Abello, Craig Wesley Divino, Lynnette R. Freeman, Daniel Pearce, Alix Sobler, and Luis Vega. The creative team includes Set Design by Tristan Jeffers, Costume Design by Dina El-Aziz, Lighting Design by Cha See, and Sound Design by Chad Raines. Clyde Voce serves as Associate Director, Shayna O'Neill is the Production Stage Manager, Addison Heeren is the Prop Supervisor, Zack Lobel is the Associate Lighting Designer / Master Electrician, Elis Arroyo is the Assistant Stage Manager, and Elizabeth Goodman is the Production Manager.
