A Giant Invisible Rabbit?!
|
|
|
February 11-13, 2022 * 2:30 pm
Friday and Saturday at Asheville Community Theatre
Sunday at the Reuter Center at UNC Asheville
Elwood P. Dowd is a charming and eccentric man who insists on including his best friend Harvey in family dinners, social events, theatre outings and more. The only issue is that Harvey is an invisible six foot tall white rabbit that only Elwood can see and hear! Elwood's sister Veta attempts to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium, but her plans go awry. And in the end, well - you'll just have to see the play to know how it ends!
Harvey is a Pulitzer Prize winning comedy by Mary Chase that will be performed as readers theatre by The Autumn Players. Friday and Saturday performances are on the ACT Mainstage; Sunday's performance is at the Reuter Center on the campus of UNC Asheville.
Harvey is directed by Marianne Lyon and stars Mike Vaniman, LuAnn Bolnick, Barbara Blomberg, Kermit Brown, Margaret Crowell, Terry Darakjy, Charlie St. Clair, Jerre Bolnick, Walter Goodrich, Margaret Crowell, and Earl Leininger.
