Here's how it's billed: "Tell the truth. Face the music. Let life do. The dynamic words and music of acclaimed singer-songwriter Dan Mills are the centerpiece of this original pop musical that tells the story of five twentysomethings as they struggle to untangle the complications of life, work and love in Brooklyn. Fiction in Photographs is about telling the truth, facing the music and growing up."
Redd played Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet Off-Broadway, while Mills was seen as Carl Perkins on Broadway and Off. Redd is also the co-author of What's That Smell: The Music Of Jacob Sterling. Visit yorktheatre.org.
