Auditions for "Sylvia"
Directed by Annette Fernandez

Independence Community Theater

February 16th and 17th at 7pm
Upstairs at the Old Town Hall in Independence, 6652 Brecksville Rd.

Synopsis:
Greg is a man of middle age, a restless empty-nester, tired of his job in
finance, looking for meaning in his life. Sylvia is an exuberant and
beautiful lab/poodle mix, astray in Central Park, looking for a new home.
When they meet, it is love at first sight. But his wife Kate, a busy rising
star in the public school system, is looking forward to some independence
now that the couple no longer has children to care for, and is less than
thrilled by the clever and coquettish canine who jumps, slobbers, sits on
her couch, and takes Greg’s attention away from his marriage. Sylvia exerts
such a charismatic pull that Kate’s friends are appalled, the marriage
counselor advocates divorce and euthanasia, and even Greg’s new dog-owner
friend warns him of the splintering effect a dog can have on the
relationship between husband and wife. It is only when Greg is prepared to
make the ultimate sacrifice that Kate is able to see Sylvia not as a
threat, but as a new member of her family. A.R. Gurney’s Sylvia is a smart,
silly, sophisticated, and occasionally salty comedy about relationships,
nature, and growing older.
