The U. U. Players' Sylvia at First Unitarian Church of Cleveland

This weekend, The U. U. Players of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Cleveland is presenting "Sylvia" by A.R. Gurney.

If you’ve followed Clue Into Cleveland for a while, you know I’m a theatre junkie. I love seeing and writing about productions at PlayhouseSquare, Cleveland Public Theatre, Great Lakes Theatre Festival, and Cleveland Play House.  In fact, I’m looking forward to seeing The Trip to Bountiful tonight.

However, in addition to amazing professional theatres, Cleveland has a number of community groups producing shows. This weekend, The U. U. Players of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Cleveland is presenting Sylvia by A.R. Gurney.

The U. U. Players are in their premiere season and this Fall @ScottHicken and I caught their production of Laura which featured Clue Into Cleveland guest blogger @EGrepp. We had a great time watching the multi-generational cast of local Clevelanders perform in the adaptation of the classic 1944 film noir.

This weekend’s production of Sylvia is directed by Laura Marx (who starred as the title character in Laura) and stars Andrew Nash, Stephanie Slusher, and Annabella Urdaneta, with Aria Jordan and Scott Hare. The comedy examines middle age relationships in a sophisticated, yet family friendly tale of a husband and wife and their new dog.

If you’d like to support The U. U. Players, here are more details on this weekend’s show:
