For a play full
of characters who readily admit an inability to identify their feelings in a
police lineup, it is not for want of trying or for a lack of eloquent verbiage to do so. Douglas Carter
Beane’s “The Little Dog Laughed” is the
kind of theater that requires and rewards a careful listening to.

THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED continues the recent trend of area
theatres to probe into the gay phenomenon. Though it is somewhat dated due to changing attitudes
towards gays in the arts, it still makes for an interesting theatrical
experience.
Fran Heller
The acerbic comedy parallels the lies and deceptions of the movie industry with the lies and deceptions of two gay men in denial about their real identity.
Play takes on Hollywood's hypocritical stance about homosexuality.
This dog bites at Beck..

Christine Howey
This sneaky, snarky play by Douglas Carter Beane is about a film star, Mitchell, whose flickering fascination with gay sex is causing problems for his razor-edged agent, Diane. And under Scott Plate's propulsive direction, the humor lances all the right targets.

If you are offended by the male form, this is not the show for you. Period. If you can get past the random scattered booty, or if it’s your primary motivation, you will thoroughly enjoy this incredible production playing now at Lakewood’s Beck Center For The Arts.

Plate's "The Little Dog Laughed" is entertainment for grown-ups, and
the director assumes his audience is urbane enough to handle a show
that depicts sex between two men with fearless frankness. And what a
show it is.
