Harvey  by Mary Chase

Director: Drew Pittman

Dates: April 29 to May 17, 2026

Harvey is the story of a perfect gentleman, Elwood P. Dowd, and his best friend, Harvey -- a pooka, who is a six-foot tall, invisible rabbit. When Elwood begins introducing Harvey around town, his embarrassed sister, Veta Louise, and her daughter, Myrtle Mae, determine to commit Elwood to a sanitarium.
The play is a wonderful and heartwarming adventure, all about accepting eccentricities when they aren't hurting anyone and not to let our vanity cause rifts in relationships.
