Hey, Jef, Here's My Headshot: JOY TILLEY PERRYMAN

Who's who in Tennessee theater? Sometimes, without a program in your hand, it's difficult to know who's playing whom-hence, our newest feature: Hey, Jef, Here's My Headshot...featuring some of the Volunteer State's best-known-or soon-to-be-known all over the freakin' world-thespians. And have you ever wondered who  the amazing photographers are who make them look damn good? We're gonna tell ya...

Today's actor/subject/model is the lovely and talented Joy Tilley Perryman photographed by Roger Ashdown.
