About Truth Be Told
Truth be Told is a gripping psychological drama that unravels the aftermath of an unspeakable tragedy through the eyes of two mothers on opposite sides of a devastating event. When true-crime writer Jo Hunter visits Kathleen Abedon—a grieving mother whose teenage son, Julian, carried out a mass shooting that left fourteen dead, including himself—she expects to uncover the cold, hard facts. But Kathleen insists her son was framed, forcing Jo to navigate a minefield of grief, denial, and conflicting narratives. As their tense encounter unfolds, Truth be Told challenges our understanding of justice, media influence, and the elusive nature of truth itself. In a world where facts are constantly questioned and reality is shaped by those who tell the story, how do we decide what to believe?
ARA Theater & Gene Frankel Theatre
The Gene Frankel Theatre - PRODUCER
The Gene Frankel Theatre has remained steadfast since Gene Frankel founded the theatre in 1949; finding and cultivating an audience that can share with us the discovery and excitement of theatre. Currently, the Gene Frankel Theatre is operated by Artistic Director Thomas R. Gordon. We are looking to give a home to artists that cultivate a theater that speaks not only of a socio-political change – but a personal change, the only truly manageable change that can lead to a new and better social, political, economic world. The work that has come from this venue for the last seventy-one years has had civil rights and progressive thinking at its core. Today this is more relevant and necessary than ever. We are looking to reach out to our community and invite its people in their whole to celebrate new thinking, new ideas and a deeply emotional positive change.
