Sylvia at The Players at Barker

Sylviaby A.R. GurneyDirected by Joan DillenbackThe Players at Barker is delighted to present Sylvia, the second show of our 113th season. A sassy stray dog brought home from Central Park becomes a major bone of contention for empty-nesters Greg and Kate in this modern romantic comedy about a marriage and a dog. Sylvia, a stray street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the uncertainties of middle age. Kate considers Sylvia a rival for Gregs affection; Sylvia thinks Kate is clueless about the bond between man and dog. Through a series of hilarious and touching complications, all three learn lessons about the importance of compromise and the power of love.Performance Dates:December 3rd, 4th, 5th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 2021The Barker Playhouse400 Benefit St.Providence RI 02903(401) 273-0590players1909@gmail.comTickets:For tickets go to playersri.org, click on the 'Ticketing' tab and click on 'Online Ticketing,' email us at players1909@gmail.com, or call the box office at (401) 273-0590.Guest Ticket to Any Performance: $25Student Ticket w/ ID to Any Performance: $15Curtain Time: Friday and Saturday 7:30pm, Sunday 2:00pmPlease arrange to be at the theater no later than ten minutes before curtain time.COVID VACCINE AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:All patrons of The Players, including children, attending performances at The Barker Playhouse, must either show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 (at least 14 days have passed since the final dose),or proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken in the prior 72-hours, or proof of a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken in the prior 6-hours.All patrons, regardless of vaccination status, must wear masks covering the nose and mouth at all times inside the theatre unless actively eating or drinking.
