THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED

April 19th to May 12th, 2024

 

Step behind the curtain hiding Hollywood's biggest secrets with actor Mitchell Green, a rising star who would be well on his way to the A-list if his agent, Diane, could manage to keep him in the closet. Skilled in persuasion and negotiation, Diane ruthlessly works to control Mitchell's image as he has an affair with Alex, an adorable drifter. This entertaining journey that unravels the comedic underbelly behind the glitz and glamor will leave you roaring with laughter.

 

"Shout hallelujah for Douglas Carter Beane's satiric fable which delivers two hours of delicious good fun." -The New York Daily News

 

"Beane knows his way around a sparkling turn of phrase. Sharp and elegant and crass all at once. In an 'Entouragey' way, he gives this four-character comedy zing." -The Washington Post

 

This show contains adult language and themes.

 

Written by Douglas Carter Beane, THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED is directed by Sam Rush and stars Mike Levin, Rhonda Hallquist, Emily Fuchs, and Sean Patrick. The show runs April 19th to May 12th, 2024. Fridays, & Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3:00pm. $23 General, $21 for Military, Seniors & Students, $18 for previews.

The history of making movies in Tucson and Southern Arizona is as long as the history of movie-making itself. That's because the natural settings of desert and pine-topped mountains as well as ghost towns, old west movie sets, urban settings and proximity to Mexico give Southern Arizona a vast range of locations within a relatively small area.

Gillian Howard, a successful crime novelist, returns home late after having received the award for the 'Thriller of the Year'. She finds that a copy of her latest award-winning book, 'The Lady is Dead', has been delivered with no note and no indication as to who it is from. As the evening unfolds, a series of unfortunate accidents occur. She soon finds out why: someone is trying to kill her using methods from her own book.

 

 

 

As a number of visitors to her home fall under suspicion, Gillian faces a race against time to discover the identity of her would-be murderer before it is too late!
