Hey Jonte! to Present GOOD & KISSED at Midtown International Theatre Festival

GOOD & KISSED by Miranda Jonte has been selected to be featured in the Midtown International Theatre Festival (MITF) in New York City this summer. GOOD & KISSED is produced by Hey Jonte! Productions and will be presented on July 13th & 14th at 8pm at the Jewel Box Theatre. (312 West 36th St).

'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 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. Funny story about G&K: 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.

GOOD & KISSED is currently in development for its 'go' time in 3.5 weeks at MITF. Jonte is working with directing and development team Jonathan Hetler and Chelsea Thaler, respectively.

Jonte is also simultaneously in pre-production for her new play, THE SHARK PLAY, which goes up at the Samuel French OOB Fest this August. THE SHARK PLAY was one of 30 scripts selected by Sam French.

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! took John 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)
