Maria Coleman as Syliva
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 – a pup bearing 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. The twist in this crowd-pleasing comedy is that Sylvia is played by a
woman, making her rivalry with Kate for Greg’s affection feel all too human.
The paw-some Maria Coleman plays the title role of Sylvia, an exuberant and beautiful Labrador-poodle mix.
The role of Greg is played by Jack Sherman, with Jennifer Gordon playing his wife Kate. Teddy Brill
completes the cast, playing Kate’s friend Phyllis, marriage counselor Leslie and dog park visitor Tom.
