Mitchell Green has a problem. He's the beloved Hollywood hero all the ladies want to be with and all the men want to be (and maybe be with as well). But he isn't who he says he is . . . and by falling in love he could bring his whole show world crashing down. Luckily for him, his hard-case uber-Agent, Diane, is working on an ethics-free solution that will keep Mitchell in business, her in Blahniks and the public in the dark. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Hollywood!

For sure the hottest ticket in the capital this spring, The Little Dog Laughed is a Tony Award nominated, smash-hit Broadway comedy, starring four of Wellington's hottest young actors: Kip Chapman (The American Pilot, Apollo 13), Sophie Hambleton (VÜNDERBRA!), Richard Knowles (The Gods of Warm Beer) and Renée Sheridan (Jeff Koons, A Streetcar named Desire). Designed by Chapman Tripp nominee Daniel Williams and directed by Willem Wassenaar (Chapman Tripp Award winner for Angels in America 2007).

And not to forget, it certainly contains nudity and adult themes.
