a Pulitzer Prize-winning American classic by Mary Chase
June 15, 2017 – August 26, 2017
Elwood P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an invisible six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarrassment for her family — especially for her daughter Myrtle Mae — Veta decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. When they arrive at the sanitarium, a comedy of errors ensues.

PRESS QUOTES
“The new Purple Rose Theatre production of this Broadway classic reveals a deeper, richer, and more focused Harvey. It’s still funny, still frantic at times, but so much more.”
– Pulp
“McWilliams is a superb Elwood, as easy going as a corn-cob pipe, genuinely interested and engaged with everyone and everything around him.”
