Cast Set for Douglas Carter Beane's The Little Dog Laughed at Second Stage

Johnny Galecki, Neal Huff, Zoe Lister-Jones and Julie White will star in the Second Stage Theatre world premiere of Douglas Carter Beane's The Little Dog Laughed. The production, directed by Scott Ellis, is scheduled to begin performances off-Broadway on December 13.

In The Little Dog Laughed, an up-and-coming leading man Huff and his over-zealous agent White become entangled with a sexy young drifter Galecki and his naïve girlfriend Lister-Jones.

Galecki first became known for his performance as David Healy on the television show Roseanne. His film credits include Christmas Vacation, Suicide Kings, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Opposite of Sex, Playing Mona Lisa, Bounce, Vanilla Sky, White Like Me and Happy Endings. His stage credits include a mounting of Pippin and a Goodman Theatre staging of Gailileo with Brian Dennehy. Earlier this month, Galecki guest-starred on both Hope & Faith and My Name is Earl.

Huff has appeared on Broadway in Take Me Out, The Lion in Winter for the Roundabout and The Tempest. His off-Broadway credits include Occupant, Rude Entertainment, Blue Window, From Above, Troilus and Cressida and The Foreigner.

A graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, Lister-Jones premiered her solo show, Codependence is a Four-Letter Word, at PS 122 in November 2004. She has a solo album, Skip the Kiss, in which she covers unconventional love songs such as Jay Z's "99 Problems" and Britney Spear's "Toxic."

White appeared on Broadway in The Heidi Chronicles. Her off-Broadway credits include Spike Heels, The Stick Wife, Over Texas, Just Say No, Lucky Stiff, The Family of Mann, Dinner With Friends, Barbra's Wedding, Bad Dates and Fiction. She's probably best known for playing the wacky neighbor Nadine on ABC's Grace Under Fire and Mitzi Dalton Huntley, the evil regional director of Kroehner Funeral Home, on HBO's Six Feet Under.

The Little Dog Laughed is scheduled to officially open on January 10.
