A little bit about the play: Harvey is the story of Elwood P. Dowd and his best friend, Harvey--a pooka, who is a six-foot tall invisible rabbit. When Elwood begins introducing Harvey around town, his embarrassed sister Veta and her daughter are determined to commit Elwood to a sanitarium. A mistake is made, however, and Veta is committed rather than Elwood! Eventually, the mistake is realized, and a frantic search begins for Elwood and Harvey. And in the end, we are asked what truly is "normal". A delightful comedy for the whole family!
