Broadway Legend Elaine Stritch To Headline Industry Reading Of New Play WHITE'S LIES

Legendary Broadway star Elaine Stritch will headline a private reading of Ben Andron's new comic play WHITE'S LIES. The reading will take place Thursday, September 24, 2009 at The Snapple Theatre Center - The Jerry Orbach Theatre located at 1627 Broadway. KelVin Productions will present the reading.

Elaine Stritch recently appeared in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of THE FULL MONTY. The 83 years young star played the role of Jeanette Burmeister in the production.

A legendary performer, Ms. Stitch is best known in recent years for her phenomenally successful Tony Award-winning autobiographical show Elaine Stritch: AT LIBERTY.

Her professional stage career spans over six decades, with highlights including Tony-nominated performances in BUS STOP, SAIL AWAY, COMPANY and Edward Albee's A DELICATE BALANCE, as well as in the original Broadway production of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? Her numerous film and TV appearances include Woody Allen's "September" and "Small Town Crooks," "Monster-in-Law," and the hit series "30 Rock."

WHITE'S LIES is described in press notes as: "Joe White's got it all. He's handsome, he's charming, he's got a great career and a killer smile that manages to land him a different girl every night. But all that changes when his firecracker of a mother drops a bombshell on him: she's got cancer and her dying wish is to have a grandchild. With his bachelorhood threatened, Joe is faced with a choice. He could give up his womanizing ways and find a nice girl to settle down and have kids with... OR... he could convince his bitter, angry ex-girlfriend from college - who just happens to have a daughter in her early twenties - to pretend that her daughter is his daughter. Joe Does the latter. As their tangled web of lies unravels, Joe and company find themselves on a hilarious journey full of unexpected twists and turns that will have you looking at cancer and commitment in a whole new way!"
