STAGE TUBE: Preview of George St. Playhouse's SYLVIA

The George St. Playhouse recently released a preview of their current production, A.R. Gurney's SYLVIA, starring Rachel Dracht. SYLVIA is directed by David Saint and will run through April 25th, 2010.

In SYLVIA, Greg and Kate have 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 "Sylvia" on her name tag.

A street-smart mutt, 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. 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.

Tickets for SYLVIA may be purchased online at tickets.georgestplayhouse.org or through the George Street Playhouse box office at 732-246-7717.

George Street Playhouse programming is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.
