Sylvia is directed by Long Wharf Theatre Artistic Director Eric Ting and stars Jacob Ming-Trent, John Procaccino, Erica Sullivan, and Karen Ziemba.

First produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club in 1995, with Sarah Jessica Parker in the title role, Sylvia has been described by the New York Daily News as "one of the most involving, beautiful, funny, touching and profound plays ever seen." "This is one of the great comedies by one of the great playwrights of the last 20 or 30 years," said Long Wharf Theatre Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein. "Gurney combines tremendous wit with intelligence, elegance of language and nonstop theatrical invention."

Sylvia (Sullivan) would do anything for Greg (Procaccino). A constant companion, she loves him unconditionally and hangs on his every word. Greg would do anything for Sylvia, including stay home from work to spend time with her. Greg's wife Kate (Ziemba), on the other hand, isn't thrilled that Sylvia's made herself so at home - in truth there's a good bit of jealousy creeping in. Gurney charms with his comedy about married life, the things that bind us, and the dogs that get in the way.

The creative team is Frank J. Alberino (sets), Valerie Webster (costumes), Ben Stanton (lights), Jill BC DuBoff (sound), Charles M. Turner III (stage manager), Erin Treat (dramaturg).
