Second-Year Student Showcase

The National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts Presents

SYLVIA

By A.R. Gurney


 The Ensemble: Selena Makell, Macey Mezzullo, and Jackson Saunders with alumni guest artist Andres Jovel
Faculty Director: Ray Ficca
 

 Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after twenty-two years of child-raising in the suburbs. Greg’s career as a financial trader is winding down, while Kate’s career, as a public-school English teacher, is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog he found in the park—or that has found him—bearing only the name “Sylvia” on her name tag. A street-smart mixture of Lab and poodle, Sylvia becomes a major bone of contention between husband and wife. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives. 


  Performances:  October 6 @ 7:30pm

 Oct 7 @ 3:00pm  & 7:30pm


 Reservations: Tickets are FREE and reservations are strongly suggested as seating is very limited. Call 202.333.2202 (landline) or email NFicca@TheConservatory.org
