The Upstart Crow Theatre Company: Harvey
A heartwarming and witty comedy about a man and his invisible 6-foot rabbit friend.
TICKETS Meet Elwood P. Dowd: a kind, easygoing gentleman with an unusual best friend. His name is Harvey, and he happens to be a 6-foot-3½-inch invisible rabbit. Elwood is perfectly content with this arrangement. His sister, Veta, is decidedly not. Desperate to preserve the family’s social standing, she attempts to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. Instead, a spectacular misunderstanding sends doctors, relatives, and respectable society itself scrambling to decide exactly who belongs on which side of the asylum door. Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy is warm, witty, and wonderfully strange, asking a deceptively simple question: Who gets to decide what “normal” looks like? At its heart, Harvey is a celebration of friendship, kindness, and the possibility that the person everyone thinks has lost touch with reality may understand what matters better than anyone else. After all, as Elwood discovers, you can be oh so smart… or oh so pleasant.
