HARVEY–a FREE play at Bartlett Theatre

HARVEY POSTER WITH PRICES  Bartlett Theatre Group is happy to present Mary Chase’s Pulitzer-Prize winning play Harvey. Perhaps you remember watching this hilarious Jimmy Stewart movie, in which he plays the part of Elwood Dowd, a good-natured, mild-mannered eccentric who is known in all of the taverns in his small town. Elwood is polite and cheerful and always friendly toward any strangers he might encounter, and he has just one problematic character trait: his best friend is an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit, Harvey. His sister and her daughter try to have Elwood committed to the local sanitarium, where the behavior of the prominent psychologist and his staff raise the age-old question of who is more dangerous to society: the easy-going dreamer with a vivid imagination or the people who want him to conform to the accepted version of reality.
