(EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- Playhouse 22 presents Sylvia, a comedy by A. R. Gurney, weekends from February 7-16, 2025. Directed by Christian Confalone, Sylvia is largely about Greg, a middle-aged, empty-nester tired of his finance job and looking for meaning in his life.
He finds an energetic and loveable stray. Balancing the love of his new canine companion with his wife Kate, join Greg and Sylvia (played by a human) on a fun journey of love, partnership and friendship.
Sylvia is part of Playhouse 22's On the Edge black box series focused on smaller, little-known shows, transforming the traditional stage into a new theatrical experience with the audience sitting on stage, close to the action unlike anything you have ever seen before at the theater.
