Angelina College Theater Presenting Gurney’s ‘Sylvia’ Play Runs Feb. 27-29 at Temple Theater

Date:

A man bringing home a dog doesn’t sound like such a big deal – unless the dog is Sylvia, and unless the man’s wife isn’t particularly happy about the new arrangement.

A.R. Gurney’s acclaimed play “Sylvia” opened off-Broadway in 1995 and received award nominations for Outstanding Play, Outstanding Actress in a Play and Outstanding Costume Design.

Angelina College Theater will bring the play – and the dog – to life in a three-night performance running Thursday-Saturday, February 27-29 at Temple Theater. All shows start at 7:30 p.m.

Set in modern-day New York City, “Sylvia” is the story of a married couple finding their lives – and relationship – shredded like a couch cushion because of an adopted dog, prompting TheaterMania to call the play “drop-dead funny” with “an undercurrent of melancholy.”

The play contains mild adult themes.

Cast and crew members are as follows:
