Betty is a writer rapidly going nowhere but to work as a waitress.  Betty likes Sammy, the security guard at the New Modern Museum of Art.  Mystic is Betty’s stripper roommate.  She introduces Betty to her new boyfriend, Bobby.  Betty LOVES Bobby.  Bobby is suddenly interested in Betty.  He suggests to Betty a way for them to realize the life they want:  use Sammy to steal a painting from the Museum.  Along the way they will have to battle the Jersey Mob, a serial killer, an ex-con art thief, and the general chaos of their own conscience.  BLEACHED BLONDE BETTY asks the one major question in life:  what would you do for love?

BIOGRAPHIES
  
DAN PATRICK BRADY (Director) has never directed a play in his life.  However, he has over 30 years’ experience as a professional actor.  He has worked opposite Kathy Bates, Frances Sternhagen, Phoebe Cates, Bill Pullman, and Bradley Whitford.  His Off-Broadway credits include Women and Football (Vinnie) and Curse of the Starving Class (Wesley).  Among his NYC credits are critically-acclaimed revivals of The Norman Conquests (Norman), Journey of the Fifth Horse (Zoditch), and The Lover (Richard), and new plays Fubar (DC) and Purple Hearts (Spooner).  Regionally his favorite roles have been Ray in Blackbird, Tom Joad in The Grapes of, and the title role in The Elephant Man.  In television and film, Dan enjoyed long-running roles on ABC’s Loving and All My Children, was featured in the TV movie Shoot first: A Cop’s Vengeance, performed in a truly beautiful movie called Paradise Falls, and is appropriately embarrassed by being in more than one dubious horror flick, none of which he will mention.  As a producer he has mounted critically acclaimed productions of The Norman Conquests, Journey of the Fifth Horse and Two Intimate, and evening combining Harold Pinter’s The Lover and Eugene O’Brien’s Eden.

ALLISON LEYTON-BROWN (Composer) is an award-winning composer, pianist, and Musical Director based in New York City. With a passion for composition in a dramatic context, Allison’s scores have been described as cinematic, haunting, and fearlessly imaginative. As a performer, she is equally comfortable behind a keyboard or in front of a band, in literally any style of music. Above all, Allison is passionate about collaboration and loves to work with other musicians and artists from all walks of life.

TOM KELLY (Playwright) has a MFA from the Playwriting program at Brooklyn College. This is his first produced play.  He refuses to divulge any more information.
