An industry presentation of Derek Murphy’s The Betty Kiss will be held June 14 at 1 PM at Open Jar Studios in Manhattan.

Directed by Will Nunziata (The Old Guitarist, Little Black Book: A New Musical), the cast will feature Tony recipient Julie Halston (Tootsie, And Just Like That), Callaway Award winner John Keating (Boardwalk Empire, O’Casey Cycle), Loren Lester (The Band’s Visit, Batman: The Animated Series), and Sherri announcer Rolonda Watts (The Till Trilogy, Sandblasted).

The dark comedy follows the long-married Gerry, who has fallen in love with the newly widowed Betty. Gerry is racked with guilt, and later with fear, when Betty discloses that she’s probably responsible for her husband’s recent death. Meanwhile, Gerry’s wife Phyllis is suffering through her own adulterous affairs. 

The presentation is produced by Douglas Denoff (The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, Seawall/A Life).
