Star of television, film and theater, Chad Allen, will lead the cast of the
hilarious hit play, The Little Dog
Laughed, at TheaterWorks, Hartford's
home for contemporary theater. Chad Allen appeared as a series regular on
Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, Our House, My Two Dads and St. Elsewhere
as well as the Donald Strachey Mysteries films on Here! TV.
Broadway star Candy Buckley, and
two exciting newcomers, Jeremy Jordan
and Amanda Perez, are also
featured in this riotous Tony-nominated comedy by Douglas Carter Beane, which runs January 25 through March 9, 2008 at TheaterWorks' chic underground
venue in downtown Hartford. Audiences should note that the production
contains nudity and explicit sexual content.
The Little Dog Laughed debuted
Off-Broadway to sold-out houses. The show quickly moved to Broadway and
scored a Tony Award nomination for Best New Play. "In this lacerating
look at Hollywood morality, a barracuda in high
heels, über-agent Diane (
Candy Buckley)
is out to land her client, Mitchell (Chad
Allen) the movie role of a lifetime by any means necessary. When
Mitchell starts to fall for a male escort ( Jeremy Jordan) who just happens to have a girlfriend (Amanda Perez), Diane's plans begin to
unravel. The big question: can she just keep Mitchell in the closet
long enough to land this make-or-break career move?" explain press notes.

Laughed is directed by TheaterWorks' Associate Artistic Director, Rob Ruggiero. The production's
design team includes Adrian W. Jones
(set), David R. Zyla (costumes),
