The Little Dog Laughed

The Gallery Players opens its 45th season with the first New York City revival of The Little Dog Laughed this September. Patrick Vassel (Working, Chicago’s Broadway Playhouse; War, Soho Playhouse) directs Douglas Carter Beane’s biting showbiz comedy about identity and the desire for celebrity.

Love will either cost Mitchell Green $200 an hour, or his entire Hollywood career… Mitchell is on the brink of superstardom with the role of a lifetime, but something isn’t right. One lonely night, Mitchell hires Alex, a male prostitute, and unexpectedly falls in love. Cut to Diane, Mitchell’s power-player agent, who will stop at nothing to set Mitchell “straight” and keep him from making a decision that could derail both of their lives, and more importantly, their careers. Three-time Tony® nominee Douglas Carter Beane’s “bitingly funny” play is a pull-no-punches look at the film biz, and what it takes to be a movie star when coming out of the closet is the farthest thing from being in.
