Students from Natchez and Starkville will be featured in a July 11-14
production of "Sylvia" at Mississippi State.
A.R. Gurney's Off-Broadway comedy tells how Sylvia, an aggressive
new-found dog, almost breaks up the marriage of Greg and Kate.
The communication department's Summer Theater Workshop opens in the
McComas Hall theater at 7:30 p.m. on the 11th, 12th and 13th, and
at 2:30 p.m. on the 14th. Tickets, which can be reserved or purchased
at the door, are $6 for adults; $3 for students and senior citizens.
Julie A. Rathwell of Starkville stars as the title-role canine. She
is a sophomore communication major.
William T. Watkins, also of Starkville, is "Greg" and Shana
N. Graves of Natchez is "Kate." Watkins is a sophomore computer
engineering major, while Graves is a senior communication/public relations
major.
Sophomore communication major Shane M. McRaeof Starkville portrays
three separate characters who give the couple advice about their marital
problems.
The play is directed by communication professor Jeffrey S. Elwell.
Wayne Durst, an assistant professor, is stage designer.
Originally, "Sylvia" was produced by the Manhattan Theater
Club with support from the makers of Milkbone dog food. Sarah Jessica
Parker had the starring role, along with Charles Kimbrough, a.k.a.
"Jim Dial" on CBS's Murphy Brown.
