THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED Closes at Secret Rose, 7/8; Moves to Zephyr Theatre, 8/17

Due to popular demand, Blazeco Productions' acclaimed staging of Douglas Carter Beane's Tony Award-nominated comedy The Little Dog Laughed - which closes July 8 at The Secret Rose Theatre in NoHo - will reopen August 17 for an extended run at Zephyr Theatre in West Hollywood.

In The Little Dog Laughed, a hot young Hollywood actor, Mitchell, is up for the role of a lifetime. His agent, Diane, will do anything in her power to keep his "slight recurring case of homosexuality" under wraps. But then Alex, a gay-for-pay hustler, enters the scene, with a girlfriend and their own set of secrets. What are these four conflicted characters willing to give up and compromise for success?

"Little Dog Laughed" was nominated for a Tony in 2007 for Best New Play, and won a Best Actress Tony award for Julie White. It was also nominated for a GLAAD Media Award and Lucille Lortel Awards.

This show contains adult situations, on-stage smoking, drinking, and male nudity, and is not recommended for anyone under the age of 17.

Performances at both the Secret Rose Theatre and Zephyr Theatre are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 6 p.m. Tickets are $25 general admission. $10 student rush tickets are available at the door with valid ID.
