Canyon Moon Theatre’s next production, “Fiction”, plays with the notion of truth in fiction. That is, what happens when novelists, whose trade is fiction, get so caught up in it that they invent important elements of their own lives?

A tangled web is woven by two married writers who decide to share their private diaries with each other. This poignant decision becomes a catalyst that transforms their lives and relationship. The scintillating script turns the audience around several blind corners and you really don’t know what is fact and what is fiction. This makes for vivacious theatre with a surprise ending.

“Fiction” has two preview performances at Canyon Moon on January 19th and 20th, and opens on Thursday January 24. It will run Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings with a Sunday Matinee through February 10, there will be no matinee on February 3rd.
