"Give a dog a woman's name, you begin to think of her as a woman." Tom, Act I.
What do you get when you cross a couple in
mid-life crisis and a stray dog? A love triangle in which the "other
woman" is a bitch, literally. Greg needs an escape from the frustrations
of his job and the lack of fulfillment in his life. His wife of 22
years, Kate, needs a husband who will support her as her career advances
and they move into the next phase of their lives. Sylvia is a stray dog
who just needs a home and someone to love. The three battle it out in a
witty and delightful look at life, love and relationships.
Sylvia is an endearing comedy that will be performed in the Sponberg Theatre on June 6, 7, 12, 13, 14 at 7pm and June 8 & 15 at 2 pm. Recommended for ages 13+.
What is more powerful, love or hate?
Without getting too philosophical it is a simple question but can have a complicated answer. Some say that love and hate are exact opposites. Others say that love and hate are two such intense emotions that they are practically the same. What do you think? In Wedding Band: A Love/Hate Story in Black and White that is just one of the many thought provoking questions discussed. Written by Alice Childress and directed by Wallace Bridges, this show dives deep into the human heart and shines light on some of the darker aspects of human character that we would rather leave hidden.
Against the backdrop of 1918 South Carolina, two people are in love against all odds. Due to laws prohibiting interracial marriage, Julia, an African American seamstress, and Herman, a caucasian baker, suffer the consequences from the community. Unable to escape to the north where they can be married, the couple is forced to keep their long standing love affair a secret. This beautiful love story moves and inspires while exploring taboo themes of racism and violence.
Recommended for mature audiences.
