first.” CAST Bruce Adel, Kathy Bell Denton, Maria DiJiosia, Jason Imperial, Craig Johnson, Christina Mason, Andrew

KDT THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED by Douglas Carter Beane, directed by Scott Ellis
Julie White will reprise her Tony Award-winning performance in ‘The Little Dog Laughed,’
portraying the brash, fast-talking Hollywood agent Diane, whose client has a chance to make
it to superstar status, if only he stays in the closet. A sweet, sexy man enters his life and makes
the ruse difficult, even as this new love interest has complications of his own – a naïve, needy
girlfriend. But nothing derails Diane in her pursuit of power and money as she skillfully and
hilariously manipulates all within her reach. With twists and turns that keep audiences
guessing, “The Little Dog Laughed” cleverly reflects America’s celebrity-obsessed culture.
