Sylvia
by A. R. Gurney
directed by Ilene Chalmers

THE STORY: 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—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 touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives.

Cold readings from script.

Avenue Q at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 26-May 19

Avenue Q at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 26-May 19

Laurel Mill Playhouse presents:
Avenue Q
music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx
book by Jeff Whitty
directed by Michael Hartsfield
music directed by Mimi McGinniss
produced by Maureen Rogers

April 26 – May 19, 2024
Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays (May 12 and 19) at 2pm.

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

A winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good, and life lessons are learned. ~ MTI

Noises Off at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Mar 8-24

Noises Off at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Mar 8-24

Laurel Mill Playhouse presents:
Noises Off
by Michael Frayn
directed by Alex Campbell
produced by Maureen Rogers

February 9 – March 3, 2024

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

Michael Frayn’s Noises Off takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and — of course — flying sardines!

Ticket prices are as follows:
Adults: $20, Children 18 and under, Seniors 65 and over, and active duty military: $15

Buy tickets here.
