Play Synopsis
Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after twenty two 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 into 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.
We look forward to seeing many people at auditions and at the show!
