It's about a couple whose children are grown and gone and are settling into an "empty nest" in Manhattan. Then Greg brings home a stray dog named Sylvia. The dog and Greg form a relationship that angers and concerns Kate.

“While dog lovers will identify with Greg’s relationship to Sylvia, many middle-aged people will recognize in Greg’s behavior the classic symptoms of midlife crisis,” said director Scott Phillips in a statement. “Greg is tired of his routine, his job and although he wouldn’t admit it outright, his marriage. Unlike Kate, who is a complex human being who divides her focus between many interests and activities, Sylvia is focused solely on Greg.”

Call 334-844-4154.
