Get GOOD & KISSED at the Secret Theatre Next Week

GOOD & KISSED by Miranda Jonte has been selected for the Flying Solo Micro Fest this October. It premiered successfully this summer at Midtown International Theatre Festival (MITF) in New York City, and received an extension. GOOD & KISSED is produced by Hey Jonte! Productions and will be presented on October 13 at 8pm & 15 at 3pm at The Secret Theatre in Long Island City.

Funny story about GOOD & KISSED: what began as a story told in passing by Jonte to a friend, became a Facebook post at the friend's suggestion, which then became a one-woman show after Jonte was approached by a literary manager to adapt and expand the piece. She initially declined, but was persuaded to give it a go.

G&K tells the story of a woman who loses her way, then finds herself again in the most unexpected of places: on a family trip to South Carolina.

'Lots of ceiling fans, that indelibly sexy scent of sunscreen, sand everywhere, and a young, handsome, small-business owner. Never saw that coming.'

GOOD & KISSED is continuing to be developed; Jonte is working with D.C.-based director and development partner Chelsea Thaler. Both Thaler and Jonte are thrilled to revisit this piece after a short break. Rounding out this trio of creative women is stage manager Becky Abramowitz

Hey Jonte! Productions has been in operation since 2013, premiering new play GREASEMONKEY downtown, a story about a woman taking over a vintage car restoration company in the wake of her father's death, who finds herself in a love triangle.

Jonte teamed up with GREASEMONKEY director Stephen Brotebeck, and from there, Hey Jonte! tookJohn Minigan's BREAKING THE SHAKESPEARE CODE to Chicago for its professional premiere, before bringing it back to NYC for New York International Fringe Fest. It garnered raves and sold out houses. The following summer, Jonte's new play, ST. FRANCIS debuted at FringeNYC.

ST. FRANCIS won a best directing award, and was selected for publication in The Best Plays from American Theater Festivals 2015 (Applause Books). Her new play, THE SHARK PLAY, was featured at the Samuel French OOB Fest this August. SHARK PLAY advanced to the Final 12.

Jonte was awarded the Puffin Grant in July to turn her play, GREASEMONKEY, into a feature film in 2018.
