Premiering in 2006, The Little Dog Laughed earned Douglas Carter Beane, author of hits Xanadu and the current Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, his first Tony Award nomination for Best Play. Beane originally conceived of The Little Dog Laughed as a story of a young gay man looking for love who meets a closeted politician. On the advice of writer Armistead Maupin, he made the politician a movie actor. His own experience trying to write a screenplay of his play As Bees in Honey Drown (previously presented by Silver Spring Stage) turned his pen's target to Hollywood hypocrisy and created the brilliantly acidic and hilarious agent character.

Ages: The Little Dog Laughed will play the Cellar Theatre as part of The San Pedro Playhouse's 2011-2012 production season.
