Pierre Players will hold auditions for "Sylvia" on Monday, March 2, 2026, at 7 PM at the Grand Opera House in Pierre (109 S Pierre St).
Comedy by A.R. Gurney
Directed by Isaac Gonzales
Assistant Directed by Bill McDonald
"Sylvia" is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after 22 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—bearing only 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. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn’t understand the relationship between man and dog. 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.
There are roles for 2 men and 2 women, or play a role behind the scenes. For more information, contact Director Isaac Gonzales at 406-594-2125.
