- **Event Name**: Potomac Playmakers Auditions - "Sylvia" by A.R. Gurney
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The Potomac Playmakers proudly announce auditions for the final mainstage production of the 2025-2026 Season, “Sylvia” by A.R. Gurney!  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. She offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age, but to Kate, Sylvia is a rival for affection. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.
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.

Directed by Susan Kleit, “Sylvia” is presented by special arrangement with Broadway licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service Collection.  Auditions for “Sylvia” will be held on March 23, 2026 and March 24, 2026 at The Potomac Playmakers Performing Arts Center, located at 17303 W. Washington Street, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740.  Auditions start at 7:00 p.m. and will consist of cold readings from the script.  Performers of all ages, races, and gender identities are encouraged to audition.  The script calls for two female and two male performers to fill six roles, with the possibility of expanding the cast to six performers.   The show will run June 5-7 and June 12-14, 2026.
