            Earlier this year, Tanna Frederick was a hit with audiences and critics in the popular comedy “Sylvia,” when it was presented at Sierra Madre Playhouse. Now, she brings her starring performance to the Westside, where the play will be given a different directorial perspective by its new director, Gary Imhoff; and a new look from its award-winning production designer Joel Daavid.

            In this 1995 comedy by A.R. Gurney (“Love Letters,” “The Dining Room”), Greg and Kate are empty-nesters in the big city.  On a walk in the park, Greg is adopted by Sylvia, a bouncy, frisky poodle mix.  But Kate comes to feel that she is losing Greg to his adoring new best friend who just loves to be petted, scratched, and talked to.  This imaginative twist on Greg’s midlife crisis leads to lots of laughs and some thoughtful insights into the nature of love, marriage, jealousy, and dogs. 

        “Sylvia,” a comedy, about a man, his dog and the other woman… his wife.
