Synopsis
When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a
six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society 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, and
their family from future embarrassment. Problems arise, however, when Veta
herself is mistakenly assumed to be on the verge of lunacy when she explains
to doctors that years of living with Elwood's hallucination have caused her
to see Harvey also! 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 shows up at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, it
seems that the mild-mannered Elwood's delusion has had a strange influence
on more than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe
Harvey isn't so bad after all.
*** This is the first production held at our new location at
