Workshop Players presents *Sylvia* by A. R. Gurney Directed by Dave Mackeigan Greg (Kevin Boland) brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag.

She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate (Heidi Sarvis-Sapp), Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put 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. The cast also includes Diane Schreiber and Ray Cosma. *NOTE: Contains adult language!* Performances: June 29, 30 and July 1, 7, 8, 9 and July 14, 15, 16 Shows start at 8 p.m.; Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. Doors open 45 minutes before show time.
