Kayenta presents “Sylvia”
By Merrie Campbell-Lee
The Center for the Arts at Kayenta presents “Sylvia,” a play about a man, a dog, and a midlife crisis by A.R. Gurney. Performances run March 7–10 and 14–17.
Greg, who is suffering through a midlife crisis, finds a stray dog, Sylvia, in the park and brings her home. His wife, Kate, is unhappy with this new addition to the family. Sylvia’s presence puts their marriage in jeopardy until after a series of hilarious and touching complications Greg and Kate find a resolution.
Playwright A. R. Gurney dances wryly around the wild, sometimes blurry connections people have with their dogs, the most unconditionally loving of all creatures. Gurney noted that the play has a “timely message of the need to connect in an increasingly alien and impersonal world… . There is a need to connect, not only to a dog, but to other people through the dog,” he says.
Tickets are $30 and $10 for students and can be purchased at kayentaarts.com or by calling (435) 674-ARTS. Suitable for ages 13 and over. The Center for the Arts at Kayenta is located at 881 Coyote Gulch Ct. in Ivins.
