VSU Theatre & Dance’s production of Sylvia opens Thursday, February 16.

 

ABOUT THE PLAY:

 

Sylvia is a 1995 Off-Broadway hit starring Sarah Jessica Parker in the title role and recently revived with her husband, Matthew Broderick in the leading role. A. R. Gurney, prolific playwright whose works include previous VSU shows Love Letters and The Dining Room, has concocted an unusual love story about a man, his wife, and the scruffy, street-smart mutt who accidentally comes into their marriage and turns it upside down and inside out. This story is a romantic triangle like no other, filled with comedy, heartwarming sentiment, and theatrical innovation. It gives an entirely new meaning to the term ‘puppy love.” As husband and wife discuss, argue about, and come to blows over their relationship and the impact Sylvia has on it, Sylvia proves herself to be an animal who is a guide to finding the best in ourselves.

 

With adult themes and occasionally salty language, Sylvia is not recommended for children.
