HARVEY Runs Sept. 2-11

LTC_Harvey logoHARVEY
Lebanon Theatre Company
Sept. 2-11
[Lebanon]

Directed by Paula Whitaker
Produced by Kate Edington

Cast: Rebecca Ashby as Myrtle Mae, Peggy Allen as Veta Simmons, Randy King as Elwood P. Dowd, Rebecca Morman as Miss Johnson, Elaine Micheal as Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet, Karen Oehler as Nurse Kelly, Rob Willison as Duane Wilson, David Vanderhorst as Lyman Sanderson M.D., Jay Fultz as William R. Chumbley M.D., Carol Rickey as Betty Chumbley, Scott Flannery as Judge Omar Gaffney, Wayne Dunn as E.J. Lofgren & Sam Goldsmith as Orderly

Elwood P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an imaginary six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarassment for her family—and especially for her daughter, Myrtle Mae—Veta decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. At the sanitarium, a frantic Veta explains to the staff that her years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also, and so the doctors mistakenly commit her instead of her mild-mannered brother. The truth comes out, however; Veta is freed, and the search is on for Elwood, who eventually arrives at the sanitarium of his own volition, looking for Harvey. But it seems that Elwood and his invisible companion have 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.

A fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent New York magazine is assigned to fact-check an essay about the suicide of a teenage boy. It is written by a talented and established writer, and publishing his piece can save the struggling magazine from collapse.

But Olivia has eyes for Cesario the Dukes new servant and falls in love. Meanwhile Viola has fallen in love with her employer Orsino while she is pretending to be Cesario.
