The gala event includes a silent auction, heavy appetizers, and dessert at intermission. Doors open at 6 p.m.; the curtain rises at 7. “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.
