March 1 - 7, 1999
HOWLINGLY FUNNY — Brice Harris IV and Michelle
Armstrong are among the four-member cast of A.R. Gurney’s
Sylvia, a comedy about a marriage and a dog. The CSUS
production of the play, directed by Robert Smart, opens at 8 p.m.,
March 4 in the Playwright’s Theatre.
The play is about Greg and Kate, who move to Manhattan
after 22 years of life 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, 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. Greg finds
Sylvia provides an escape from the frustrations and unknowns of
middle age, while Kate sees her as a rival for Greg’s affection.
The marriage is 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.
Tickets are $10 general, $7 students and are available at the
Theatre Box Office, the Central Ticket Office and at all BASS
Ticket Centers. Performances continue at 8 p.m. March 5, 6, 11-
