Sylvia is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection.

An empty nester couple moves to NYC to embark on their next chapter. The wife pursues her dream career while the husband is on his ‘slide’ to retirement and comes home with a labradoodle. The female pooch takes over his heart and his life as she fills the emotional void in his heart.

Greg: Husband to Kate; getting bored with his job and is looking to fill his emotional void

Kate: wife to Greg, embarking on her next chapter now that the kids are launched

Sylvia: a ‘labradoodle’ Greg brings home from Central Park.  Sylvia, like many ‘dogs’ is really more female human than anything else

'Buy a Seat' Plaque Campaign

With the Potomac Playmakers "Buy a Seat"  campaign, you can name a perpetual seat in the Lee Stine Auditorium for only $125. A commemorative 1.5" x 3" brass plate will be placed on the back of one of the seats in the theatre. We cannot ensure the specific placement of each plaque location, but early donors will be placed in the frontmost rows. You are not purchasing the seat for your use during the season, and naming rights do not guarantee that you can sit in that seat when you come to a Playmakers' production. In addition to the permanent plaque you receive a 1-year membership in the Potomac Playmakers, which enables you to vote at the Annual Meeting in our election to the Board.

Take me There!
