Palo Alto Players presents "Harvey"

A "hare"-raising comedy classic for the ages!

HARVEY by Mary Chase

Directed by Jeanie K. Smith

Elwood P. Dowd is a kind and charming man, whose lovable character has one major flaw - his best friend is an invisible, six-foot-tall rabbit named Harvey. His society-conscious sister, Veta, decides to save herself future embarrassment by having Elwood committed to the local sanitarium. But when Veta is mistakenly committed in his place, a loony tornado of chaos, confusion, and laughter ensues, leaving everyone chasing after Elwood and his giant, cotton-tailed friend. The Pulitzer Prize-winning HARVEY is a classic comedy about finding ourselves while losing our minds.
