When empty-nester Greg adopts stray dog Sylvia, her antics and his fondness for her threaten to disrupt his marriage.

Energetic, comic and fresh, Sylvia is an entertaining romp for dog and theatre lovers alike. The New York Daily News described the show as “…one of the most involving, beautiful, funny, touching and profound plays I have ever seen…”.
