'Sylvia' latest Community Players production
Greg, the husband, brings home Sylvia, a stray he found in Central Park and finds in her a living escape from his job frustrations and the "dog days of middle age". Greg's wife Kate doesn't take kindly at all to her man's best friend and rival. With their marriage in balance, a series of hilarious and touching complications encourage Greg and Kate to compromise. If all goes well, Sylvia just might become a "bone-a-fide" member if the family.
Katie King, of Perkinsville, impersonates Sylvia, a frisky poodle mix with a sassy, street-smart persona. Tom Field, of Springfield, plays Greg , whose midlife search for meaning is so real that audiences will believe in and root for him. Kate, played by Rebecca Skrypeck of Springfield, is excited about a new chapter in her life as she progresses in a career. She insists the dog phase of her life is over.
Greg Villone, of Springfield, is Tom, the macho, know-it-all owner of Bowser, a lusty golden retriever who frequents the dog run where Greg takes Sylvia. Fiona Morton, of Andover, plays Phyllis, a former Vassar classmate of Kate’s, given to slips of the tongue. A repressed dog-hater, she is appalled by Sylvia. Scott Stearns of Ludlow plays Leslie, an androgynous marriage counselor “exploring the boundaries of gender identification.
If you love dogs you will love "Sylvia," a funny and touching commentary on life, love and the middle years. The show will be presented at the Springfield Community Players’ Studio on South Street. It runs July 19-20 and July 26-27 at 7:30 p.m. For reservations call 802 885-4098. Tickets are $15 general admission and $12 for seniors and students.
