When: March 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13th at 8 pm ! Tickets will be available at Mailboxes Etc. in Boquete from Feb 15, 2010 Sylvia is a story of empty nesters. The children are in college, the suburban home has been sold and the couple has moved to New York City. Kate is the wife whose career as an inner-city English teacher is taking off; the long-married couple are touching base with old city friends and spending weekends visiting country friends. The only glitch is husband Greg's career. He's losing interest and losing his edge as a stockbroker. Disgruntled and restless, Greg is easy pickings. Call it a mid-life crisis, call it the eternal triangle, but pretty soon Sylvia enters the picture and the zany action begins. However, in this play, instead of a young long-legged buxom blonde adventuress, this homewrecker has four legs, a tall, shaggy fur and big soulful brown eyes. A cross between a lab and a poodle, this "other woman" moves in and begins to move Kate out. The idea of a dog becoming the third party in a marriage dispute provides the funniest moments in the play. Directed by Jim Hatch. Cast includes: Pam Pankratz (Sylvia), Tom Werder (Greg), Nairn Kennedy (Kate), Mark Heyer (Phyllis), Jerry Wager (Tom), and Carroll Oden (Leslie) PUT A CIRCLE AROUND THESE DATES: MARCH 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 AND 13 !! |
