About the event

We're please to present the final regular show of our 2024 season: Sylvia, by A.R. Gurney!

Show Run: October 4 - 13, 2024 

Greg is a restless empty-nester, tired of his job in finance, looking  for meaning in his life. Sylvia is an exuberant labradoodle, astray in  Central Park, looking for a new home. When they meet, it is love at  first sight. But his wife Kate, a busy rising star in the public school  system, is looking forward to some independence now that the kids are  gone, and is less than thrilled by the clever and coquettish canine who  slobbers, sits on her couch, and distracts Greg from their marriage.

Sylvia exerts such a charismatic pull that Kate’s friends are appalled, the  marriage counselor advocates divorce, and even Greg’s new dog-owner  friend warns him of the splintering effect a dog can have on the  relationship between husband and wife. It is only when Greg is prepared  to make the ultimate sacrifice that Kate is able to see Sylvia not as a  threat, but as a new member of her family. A.R. Gurney’s Sylvia is a  smart, silly, sophisticated, and occasionally salty comedy about  relationships, nature, and growing older.
