About the Show
Scott Patterson will play the central role in 'White's Lies.'
TV and movie vet Scott Patterson will play the lead role of Joe White in the upcoming off-Broadway production of White’s Lies, a new comedy by Ben Andron. The play will begin previews on March 22 and open on April 12 at New World Stages, directed by Bob Cline.
Patterson joins a cast that already includes Peter Scolari, Christy Carlson Romano and Jimmy Ray Bennett. Still to be cast is the title character’s mother, a role played in a fall 2009 reading by Elaine Stritch.
White’s Lies centers on Joe White, who’s handsome and charming, with a great career and plenty of girlfriends. His mother drops a bombshell: She’s got cancer, and her dying wish is to have a grandchild. With his bachelorhood threatened, Joe could 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 his daughter. As their tangled web of lies unravels, Joe and company find themselves on a hilarious journey full of twists and turns.
Patterson is known to TV audiences for his seven seasons as diner owner (and Lauren Graham’s on-screen love interest) Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls. He also co-starred in the TV series Aliens in America and was featured in the TV film Alien Nation: Dark Horizon. His films include Little Big League, Three Wishes and Saw IV, Saw V and Saw VI. He is a founder of the Arc Light Theatre Company.
