HOLY DAYS at Oxford Area Community Theatre Runs April 24-May 3

HOLY DAYS
Oxford Area Community Theatre
April 24-May 3
Oxford Community Arts Center

Directed by Bekka Eaton

Set in 1935 during the Kansas Dust Bowl, Holy Days offers an elegiac window into the lives two couples—brothers Gant and Will and their wives Rosie and Molly—as they face the scarcity and separation of a community in decline. As they move through personal grief and communal hardship during the three holy days of Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday, old wounds are reopened, loss is balanced on the brink of revelation, and all that is certain is that things must change.

Directed by Nick Brown
Produced by Abby Engel

Official cast list |

Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play is the story of Elwood P. Dowd, a polite and friendly man with a very strange best friend—a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch invisible rabbit named Harvey. Elwood’s sister Veta is concerned the rabbit will interfere with her life as a socialite, so she tries to have Elwood committed at the local sanatorium. Veta is so hysterical when she explains her brother’s condition that she is committed instead. Elwood leaves the sanatorium grounds unbothered, turning the town upside down as everyone goes on the lookout for this mind-mannered hero and his invisible rabbit.
