Mitchell Greene is brimming with Hollywood star power. Women want him and men want to be him. He’s also brimming with something else: he’s falling in love. This would be fine with Diane, Mitchell’s agent, if this new love wasn’t a twenty-something NYC rent boy with his own secrets to hide. If there’s a way out of this, Diane will find it, because the size of her paycheck depends on it. You can be sure she’ll spare no one’s sensitivity in this hilarious play about the price of ambition, the luxury tax on love, and the unexpected packaging in which dreams invariably arrive.

TOP TEN REASONS TO SEE THIS PLAY

The performance runs one hour and twenty minutes, with one 15 minute intermission.

Warning: this production contains NUDITY (aka boys in the buff), SEXUAL CONTENT, and SIDESPLITTING LAUGHS. Viewer discretion advised.

@Lynnette Lang:

“The Little Dog Laughed” runs a neat little, laughing 120 minutes, including one little 15 minute intermission.

Very Rock & Roll.

I saw this show in preview last night. 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.)

Chris–we saw the show last evening and again, hats off to you–wonderful staging/directing. The scene in the restaurant with the “writer” was a joy.

We loved the show–great staging, pacing and terrific cast!
We are disappointed, though, that the Oregonian revealed the details of the story in its review. Glad we attended before the review came out.

we received a great email from a patron today who said this “…I just saw Little Dog Laughed last night and my friend and I both loved it. I did have a little trouble hearing the dialogue at times only because I was too focused on watching the actors take their clothes off!” yukyukyukyukyukyukyuk!

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?”
