SYLVIA
by A.R. Gurney
Directed by Lesley Abrams
Starring Hannah Turner, Josh Parra, Jodi Ajanovic, and Lori Hunt
A modern offbeat comedy about a new dog testing the bond of an established marriage, Sylvia emphasizes the importance of hanging onto simple pleasures during midlife. An audience favorite since its off-broadway premiere in 1995, Sylvia is sure to be a bright highlight of Live Theatre Workshop’s 2022 Mainstage season.
Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after 22 years of child-raising in the suburbs. Greg’s career as a financial trader is winding down, while Kate’s career, as a public-school English teacher, is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.
“I can only call it one of the most involving, beautiful, funny, touching and profound plays I have ever seen…” - NY Daily News
