“Harvey” is coming to Schoolhouse Arts Center

An invisible 6-foot rabbit named Harvey is making his stage debut at Schoolhouse Arts Center for two weeks from April 13 through April 22. “Harvey” is Schoolhouse’s first production of the 2018 season, directed by Chris Roberts and Hollie Pryor as assistant director. You and the family can come to see (or maybe not) “Harvey” on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. 
 
This is the story of Elwood P. Dowd who starts to introduce his imaginary friend Harvey, a six-and-
a-half-foot invisible rabbit to guests at a party. His sister, Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter, Myrtle Mae, from future embarrassment.

Problems arise when Veta is mistakenly assumed to be on the verge of lunacy when she explains to doctors that living with Elwood's hallucination have caused her to see Harvey too! The doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood. But when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion. When he arrives at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, Veta realizes that maybe Harvey isn't so bad after all.

Join the mayhem at Schoolhouse Arts Center, 16 Richville Road (Route 114) in Standish.  Make your reservations at www.schoolhousearts.org .  This is a hilarious comedy for the whole family.
