WE REVIEW “SYLVIA” AT THEATRE 29

The comedy “Sylvia” opened Theatre 29’s 2017 season last weekend. Reporter Rebecca Havely attended and offers this review of the production…

“Sylvia” follows the story of a middle-aged, Manhattan couple, Greg and Kate, and their love-hate relationship with another female. Although Greg is in the midst of a midlife crisis, Sylvia isn’t another woman, she’s a dog. A labradoodle, actually adoringly played by young talent Amy Fangmeyer. Greg, earnestly portrayed by Jeremy Volsteadt, brings home a stray from the park. His wife Kate, played by new-comer Ann Van Haney, is not amused. Theater favorite Kurt Schaupner takes on a trio of roles: A friendly dog lover who gives Greg advice; Kate’s gal pal who comforts her concerns; and an androgynous marriage therapist who helps the troubled couple. Director Eddie Tucker’s crisp set design is impressive as are the show’s lighting effects. In the end “Sylvia” is a tale about the redemptive power of love.

“Sylvia” will run Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:30 through January 29. Tickets are $8. to $15. and are available on line at theatre29.org or by calling the Theatre 29 box office at 760-361-4151. Due to adult language parental guidance is suggested.
