What should I name a Non-fiction book reading venue?

I'm trying to brainstorm catchy names for a new non-fiction stage at a literary festival. The stage will feature readings from history, memoir, science, technology, current affairs, technology and environment books.

The name should end with "Tent" "Stage" or "Marquee"

Thanks, creative people!

I keep noodling around with this, getting more twee, silly and alliterative by the minute. But honestly? If I were at the fair, I would be attracted by something as simple as The Knowledge Tent.

Neither cutesy nor clever and no alliteration, but it would get me.

You couldn't make this stuff up stage.

Response by poster: Nothing But The Truth was one of the names I had been thinking about before asking, so I think I'll go with that.

Thanks for all your suggestions!
