THEATRE + COMEDY

The Texas Rep Theatre Co., NW Houston’s critically-acclaimed professional theatre, opens its 7th season with the hilarious and heart-felt A.R. Gurney comedy SYLVIA. An award-winning comedy about a guy and his dog, SYLVIA opens on August 18th and will run four performances a week until September 11th.

Long-married empty-nesters Greg and Kate adopt an abandoned street-smart mutt named Sylvia after the kids have grown up and moved out. But will Sylvia be a companion, a rival for each other's affections, a distraction from life's little dissatisfactions -- or just a "bone of contention" between them? Through the dog's eyes -- played by a human -- the audience sees that despite hilarious complications, our hearts always have room for more love. A clever and heartfelt comedy by the auther of “The Dining Room”, Sylvia is a hilarious and intelligent comedy about a man, his wife and the street-smart mutt who puts their marriage in the doghouse.

The Texas Repertory Theatre production of SYLVIA features Texas Repertory favorite Jen Lucy as the title character, and also features The Foreigner’s Alan Hall and newcomers Bradley Winkler and Karen Schlag, all under the direction of Texas Repertory Artistic Director Steven Fenley.
