Meadow Brook Theatre Presents WHITE'S LIES, Now thru 2/3
By: BWW News Desk Jan. 09, 2013
Joe White is a successful lawyer with a bevy of beauties in his life. He couldn't ask for anything more. But his mother could. She wants him to settle down. When she tells him she's sick, and that all she wants is a grandchild, Joe hatches a plan to claim an ex-girlfriend's daughter as his. This provides his mother an instant family, and, really, what could go wrong?
"White's Lies," written by Ben Andron, runs tonight, January 9 through February 3, 2013, at Meadow Brook Theatre on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester, Mich. "It's a great laugh," said Travis W. Walter, MBT artistic director. "The perfect way to beat the mid-winter blues."
"We're excited to have the playwright, Ben Andron, as our special guest at the beginning of the run," Cheryl Marshall, MBT managing director, said. As a special treat for audiences, Andron will be joining Walter for the preview talkbacks on January 10 and 11. Talkbacks immediately follow these performances and are free of charge.
