Rising film star, Mitchell Green, is every girl's fantasy and soon to become a household name, thanks to his devilish agent Diane, who excels at navigating the choppy waters of Hollywood. With Mitchell on the brink of superstardom, Diane encounters one teensy weensy obstacle—she can’t seem to stop her leading man from coming out of the closet! With Mitchell spending days and nights with his new "friend" Alex, and Alex’s beautiful girlfriend Ellen (yes, girlfriend!) causing a drama of her own, what lengths will Mitchell go to play the part? And will there be a Hollywood ending when the final credits role?

Douglas Carter Beane's Tony Award-winning comedy hilariously satirizes the superficial world of show business and the game playing of the movie industry. A naughty comedy about a dirty business!

The Little Dog Laughed stars Liz Zazzi as Diane, Mark Irish as Mitchell, Scott Tyler as Alex and Cynthia Fernandez as Ellen.
