Lately, it seems busty blondes or a shirtless Taylor Lautner are the only fail-proof ways to pop out a box-office hit. However, back in the day, as anyone who’s ever seen “Shakespeare in Love” would know, a yappy dog and a clown was the go-to equation for a crowd-pleaser. Well, “Sylvia,” to be performed this month by B.E.T. (Bare Essential Theater), involves both a dog named Sylvia, and the principal of my old high school. Sounds like a recipe for success to me. The script is about a middle-aged man in New York who brings home a dog, which his wife disapproves of. Their compromise is that the dog can stay for a few days while they decide if they are going to keep her or not. I am envisioning jealous-wife tantrums, a grown woman acting like a dog, my principal with some witty one-liners, and hopefully lots of good laughs. The play will be starring Lisa Teichner, Lou Young, Ute Finch, and Kathy Collins. Your only chance to see it is at 6:30 pm, January 11th, at the Historic Iao Theater. And the best part, it’s absolutely free! Visit the MauiOnstage Website or call at 244-2680 for more information, or if you are beginning to think that you too have an untapped theatrical talent, and would like to participate in the next production.
