Greg and Kate have moved to Manhattan after twenty- two years in the suburbs. Greg's career is winding down, while Kate's career is ramping up. 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 both their lives

WOBCP proudly announces the cast for the initial production of our 17th Season, "Sylvia."
Greg (husband) – Rick White
Kate (wife) – Jennifer Gonzalez
Sylvia (dog) – Tracy Cathey
Leslie (therapist) – Shelly Kelly

Psychiatrist Victor is financially pressed between the rental of his posh office apartment and his fiancée’s expensive tastes. A colleague has written a best-selling case history book and is now rolling in royalties. Good friend Parker has rejected Victor's similar work because the public is tired of such things preferring torrid fiction. Needing cash, Victor reluctantly takes on a new patient who, due to love frustrations, is grinding out a rip roaring sex life. By mistake, Victor’s nurse gives the patient's manuscript to Parker, believing it to be Victor's work. Suddenly Victor has an enormous advance royalty check, a Book of the Month Club selection and a potential Pulitzer prize. When he discovers it’s his patient's confidences and not his casebook that has saved the day, Victor determines to keep his patient crazy until he dreams up the final chapter. Another uproarious comedy by the author of Your Flake or Mine.

On the eve of her birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows certain events such as a burgeoning romance, flashbacks of her father and the discovery of a mysterious notebook, combine to draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?

Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Proof "…combines elements of mystery and surprise with old-fashioned storytelling to provide a compelling evening of theatre…[PROOF is a] smart and compassionate play of ideas."
