HOWLINGLY FUNNY — Brice Harris IV and Michelle<br />
Armstrong are among the four-member cast of A.R. Gurney’s<br />
Sylvia, a comedy about a marriage and a dog. The <strong>CSUS</strong><br />
production of the play, directed by Robert Smart, opens at 8 p.m.,<br />
March 4 in the Playwright’s Theatre.<br />
The play is about Greg and Kate, who move to Manhattan<br />
after 22 years of life in the suburbs. Greg’s career as a financial<br />
trader is winding down, while Kate’s career as a public school<br />
English teacher is beginning to offer her more opportunities.<br />
Greg brings home a dog he found in the park, bearing only the<br />
name “Sylvia” on her name tag.<br />
A street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a<br />
major bone of contention between husband and wife. Greg finds<br />
Sylvia provides an escape from the frustrations and unknowns of<br />
middle age, while Kate sees her as a rival for Greg’s affection.<br />
The marriage is in serious jeopardy until, after a series of<br />
hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to<br />
compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.<br />
Tickets are $10 general, $7 students and are available at the<br />
Theatre Box Office, the Central Ticket Office and at all BASS<br />
