Lemon Bay Playhouse Presents “Sylvia”

For the last production of its 31st Season, the Lemon Bay Playhouse will present Sylvia”, written by A. R. Gurney. This comedy, directed by Murray Hudson, will open on June 6 and run through June 24, 2018.

Audiences have loved this catchy comedy about Greg and Kate who 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.” 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. 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. You will not want to miss this laugh-filled comedy.
