White's Lies received an industry reading on September 24, 2009 with Tony nominee Martha Plimpton, Christy Carlson Romano, and Tony and Emmy winner Elaine Stritch at the Snapple Theatre Centre in New York City. The cast additionally featured Tom Cavanagh ('Some Americans Abroad', 'Urinetown', 'Ed') as Joe White. Jimmy Bennett ('Illyria'), Jason Kravits ('The Drowsy Chaperone') and Rena Strober ('Fiddler on the Roof'). Bob Cline directed the reading, which was produced by Aaron Grant and Kelvin Productions. Bob Cline will allegedly remain with the project in the move. Creative team appointments were not indicated.

According to the casting notice, in White's Lies: "Joe White's got it all. He's handsome, he's charming, he's got a great practice 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 quintessential 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 also his daughter. 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!
