“Sylvia” tells the tale of Greg, played by Jeremy Volsteadt, who adopts a stray dog he names “Sylvia,” played by Amy Fangmeyer. His wife Kate, played by Ann Van Haney, does not approve. A trio of eccentric characters join the mix, all played by Theatre 29 veteran Kurt Schauppner. The production is directed by Eddie Tucker. Tickets for opening night ONLY are $25 and can be purchased from all Twentynine Palms Soroptimists.
“Sylvia” will run through January 29. Performances on Friday and Saturday nights are at 7 p.m. with 2:30 Sunday matinees. Tickets after opening night are $8 to $15 and are available at theatre29.org or by calling 760-361-4151. Due to strong language, “Sylvia” is not recommended for children under 13.
