Comments on: The Little Dog Laughed http://www.pcs.org This is Your Blog On Theater Sat, 17 May 2008 07:02:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: trishap http://www.pcs.org/dog_laughed/#comment-6986 trishap Fri, 09 May 2008 23:36:21 +0000 http://www.pcs.org/dog_laughed/#comment-6986 This just in from a blogging subscriber: "Long monologues and narrations leave the play vulnerable to poor pacing and hokey story telling, but the cast (and director) nail it. Even the one-liners roll by with ease, as if the entire playhouse is exchanging quips at a large dinner party. From a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” retelling to kick start the show, the vulnerable characters weave their tabloid-familiar misfortunes, fears, love and dreams through short scenes and vignettes to a Stepford-perfect/scary, Cruise and Holmes, Hollywood ending. (It also doesn’t hurt to see attractive men bare all! I kept my head up, but my eyes certainly darted down every so often. All in all, the performance made my night. The chemistry between the characters, their vulnerability and the agent’s bitter-sweet reality, perseverance and ambition have me mulling over my own life. Where can I be vulnerable and where can I get my own agent?"

We are disappointed, though, that the Oregonian revealed the details of the story in its review. Glad we attended before the review came out.

A very witty script delivered by a dynamite foursome of talented actors. In particular, Diane ignited the stage with her energy. My two friends and I left the theater saying, "Wow, that was a great evening of entertainment." We loved it. (I've sent this same note to my theater-loving friends.)
