David O. Selznick:

30-40. The producer; impassioned, controlling, driven and at times genius. (The heart.)

Victor Fleming:

40-50. The director. Workhorse who pushes through and comes through in the clinch. (The muscle.)

Ben Hecht:

40-50. The screenwriter. Passionate, smart and teeming with morals and ethics. (The mind.)

Miss Poppenghul:

20-30. Selznick’s put-upon secretary.

The Little Dog Laughed by Douglas Carter Beane. Dir: Eric Hafen. 1st reh.: 12/27/10. Runs 1/20 – 2/13/11.

Mitchell:

Late 20s-early 30s. Hollywood star on the rise. Closeted homosexual torn between what he truly wants and what other people want from him.

Diane:

30-40. Acerbic, cynical, driven and very Hollywood. The only person more important than her client Mitchell is herself.

Alex:

20s. NYC "rent" boy; naïve for someone who has experienced so much; jaded, yet remarkably idealistic. Love interest for Mitchell. Also boyfriend/best friend/only friend to Ellen.

Ellen:

20s. NYC party girl; has made a living being kept by much older men, while still sleeping with Alex. Tough yet innocent, and just damaged enough to make her interesting.

Andrew Rally:

30s. Charming TV star whose series was recently canceled. Not the best actor, but could easily glide through life on his good looks and affability.

John Barrymore:

Late 30s-late 40s. Alcohol-swilling, skirt-chasing ghost of the late great actor.

Deirdre McDavey:

Late 20s-early 30s. Andrew's girlfriend: a breathless soul of romantic enthusiasm, and a virgin.

Felicia Dantine:

40s-50s. Daffy, fast-talking NYC realtor and part-time medium.

Lillian Troy:

60s-70s. Tough, no-nonsense theatrical agent with a delight at any sort of high-jinks. German accent a plus.

Gary Peter Lefkowitz:

30s. Andrew's friend. Extremely happy overgrown child for whom reality is of little consequence.
