A Comedy showing April 5 - May 12

  • Tickets Are Not Available at This Time

    • 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. When she decides to have him committed, problems arise, identities are mistaken, and lunacy avails. Only in the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn’t so bad after all!
