The Little Dog Laughed

The little dog laughed to see such sport, and the dish ran away with the spoon.”

This fast-paced, hilarious comedy about Hollywood and homophobia has been described by The New York Times as “devastatingly funny …and with irresistible wit.” The show was an off- Broadway sensation and scored two Tony nods when it ascended to the Great White Way as the hit of the 2006 season.

The Little Dog Laughed gives the audience a biting look at the world of celebrity, along with trenchant satire about truth and illusion Hollywood style. The script casts a wicked spotlight on fame, deception, intolerance and hypocrisy …providing the audience with the down and dirty details of Tinseltown…all the while dishing it out in good fun and good theatre.

What will Mitchell do? He is the man women want…and whom men want to be. Will he escape from the glass closet of Hollywood, or find a way to lock it from the inside? Order your tickets now and find out.
