A contemporary comedy that moves at the speed of lightning, The Little Dog Laughed takes us inside the Hollywood closet as Mitchell Green, an up-and-coming movie star is about to get a break that will catapult him into the stratosphere. His ruthless agent, Diane, would feel a lot better about her client were it not for his persistent case of homosexuality and the fact that he seems to have fallen for Alex, a hunky hustler (who, himself, has a girlfriend!). Pulling out all of the stops, the devilish Diane does everything in her power to keep Mitchell away from Alex and firmly in the closet. Will love prevail before the final credits roll?

Douglas Carter Beane was nominated for a Tony award for writing The Little Dog Laughed and for writing the book for Xanadu The Musical. His other plays include As Bees in Honey Drown and Mr. and Mrs. Fitch. He also wrote the screenplay for To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.
