Friday night, January 13, the comedy “Sylvia” at Theatre 29 will open with a gala benefit, hosted by the Twentynine Palms Soroptimists. Doors will open at 6 p.m.; refreshments will be served. Get your 50/50 drawing tickets and place your bids on the silent auction items, including gift baskets and art pieces. The curtain will rise at 7 p.m. with sweets served at intermission.
“Sylvia” tells the tale of Greg, played by Jeremy Volsteadt. While facing a mid-life crisis, he 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 cast is led by director Eddie Tucker.

“Sylvia” will run for nine performances January 13 through 29.
