This comedy begins by introducing Greg and his wife, Kate, both middle aged and both empty nesters.  Enter Sylvia - an exuberant and beautiful lab/poodle mix, astray in Central Park - who is looking for a new home.  For Greg and Sylvia, it’s love at first sight!  Kate is less than thrilled by the clever and coquettish canine who takes Greg’s attention away from his marriage. 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.
