MAGICAL STAGE ACTING TROUPE is holding auditions for "Sylvia" by A.R. Gurney.

This is a delightful Romantic Comedy, recently on Broadway.  Synopsis:

Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after 22 years of child raising in the suburbs.  Greg brings home a dog he found in the park - or that has found him - bearing only the name "Sylvia" on her name tag.  She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age.  To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection.  And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn't understand the relationship between man and dog.  This is a howingly mad comedy and most endearing.  It is beautiful, funny, touching and profound.  Although Sylvia is a "dog", she is portrayed by a human, bearing all human traits and emotion but displaying some "behaviors" of a dog in a comedic sort of way.

We are looking for someone to play  the part of "Kate", Greg's wife.  She is around 40's - 50's, stoic and a bit controlling to Greg.  That is what makes "Sylvia" so comforting , understanding, taking him away from the humdrum life he thinks he has with Kate. As Greg and Sylvia grow closer - Kate, of course, resents Sylvia tremendously  and it's as if there is a war between two women, rather than a "dog" and a woman!  It's truly hysterical, yet very profound.  This is a major role.
