Everybody ain’t ready for the truth…but truth be told, everybody can support local artists!

Behind every relationship is a story. Behind every smile may be a secret. And sometimes, the hardest thing to face is the truth.

This weekend, Columbus audiences are invited to experience Truth Be Told, an original stage play written by Courtney Lawson, founder of Court So Weird Productions.

Set around a therapy session where multiple couples are challenged to confront the realities of their relationships, Truth Be Told takes audiences on an emotional journey filled with unexpected revelations, broken trust, unresolved pain, and difficult conversations. What begins as an opportunity to heal and rebuild quickly becomes a series of confrontations that challenge each couple to decide whether love can survive the truth.

This production represents something bigger than what’s happening on stage. It’s an opportunity for our community to support local creativity, independent theatre, and the entrepreneurial spirit of an individual who is turning a passion for storytelling into an outlet for artistic expression. Productions like this require vision, dedication, collaboration, and a willingness to take a creative risk.

Lawson is doing her part by bringing original stories and compelling characters to life. Her love for the stage and production took root in the church and have blossomed from there. She prides herself on working with individuals with little or no talent and providing them with a stage where they can safely step into the acting world.

Whether you’re a theatre enthusiast, love a good drama, or simply want to support a creative visionary, this is your invitation.

Grab your friends, plan a date night, solo evening out, organize a girls’ night out, and come enjoy an evening of live entertainment. While you’re there soaking in the storyline, remember that purchasing a ticket is more than securing a seat. It’s an investment in local talent and the arts in our community. A standing ovation starts with your presence in the audience. And that’s the truth!
