FUNNY BONES: Theatre Out's THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED is witty, with satiric bite
by BWW News Desk - Sep 19, 2009

The play, which received a Tony® Award nomination for Best Play in 2007, is chock-full of witty, Hollywood-insider laughs and a continuous barrage of funny monologues (even touching and poignant at times) from each character. This particular production of the hilariously written play, which originated as a workshop presentation at the University of California at Irvine, gives its foursome of actors plenty of great lines to deliver.
