Sylvia

Meet the Dog Who Stole the Show. When Greg brings home a stray dog he finds in the park, his life is instantly transformed—and his marriage is thrown hilariously off balance. Energetic, mischievous, and completely devoted, Sylvia quickly becomes the center of Greg’s world, much to the frustration of his practical wife, Kate. In this smart, fast-paced comedy by A. R. Gurney, one irresistible pup sparks a joyful and chaotic tug-of-war over love, loyalty, and the true meaning of companionship. Heartfelt, witty, and full of surprises, Sylvia is a crowd-pleasing comedy that proves sometimes the most unexpected friendships change everything.

Content Advisory: A.R. Gurney’s beloved comedy is recommended for audiences ages 12 and up. Sylvia follows a man, his wife, and a stray dog named Sylvia, played by a human actress, whose arrival turns their household hilariously upside down.

The play contains explicit/coarse language, adult humor, and sexual innuendo. Some situations arising from the human-as-dog premise may be mildly suggestive or broadly comedic in nature. We think it’s the perfect night out for adults and mature teens who enjoy sharp writing, heartfelt moments, and big laughs.
