Off-Broadway Comedy WHITES LIES To Become Sitcom
On Monday morning, playwright Ben Andron flew to California where he is currently in negotiations to turn WHITE'S LIES into a sitcom. Producer Aaron Grant isn't surprised. "I can't get into specifics for obvious reasons," Grant commented. "But it's not surprising, especially since so many people likened the play to a sitcom, our audiences rarely stop laughing & the cast list reads like a who's who of television talent & history."
WHITE'S LIES currently stars Tuc Watkins ("Desperate Housewives") as Joe White, Tony Award winner Betty Buckley ("Eight is Enough" & HBO's "The Pacific") as his mother, Peter Scolari ("Newhart" & "Boson Buddies") as his law partner & Christy Carlson Romano ("Even Stevens" & "Kim Possible"). Jimmy Ray Bennett, Andrea Grano and Rena Strober also star.
Some guys are scared stiff at the prospect of settling down, getting married, having kids...and Joe White is no exception. He's a divorce lawyer, representing one of his many ex-girlfriends, and above all else, he's a bachelor who wouldn't have it any other way. So when his mother desperately wants him to start a family, he'll do the next best thing: make one up. What could go wrong?
WHITE'S LIES, currently at New World Stages, is produced by Aaron Grant, Jeremy Handelman, Jana Robbins, Jeff Davis, Alan Laytner, Craig Haffner & Karl E. Held with Sneaky Pete Productions.
