A delightful play for all the family,  8 years and up.

Harvey is a charming comedy that explores whether it is better to be kind than smart.

 

Elwood P. Dowd is an affable,  people loving individual.

He has chosen to drop out of the rat race and conventional world.

In favour of living in the moment and embracing all who come his way.

Elwood P. is encouraged,  abetted and protected by his imaginary friend Harvey.

Harvey is a six foot three and a half in while rabbit !!

This friendship disrupts his sister,  Veta Louise’s, marriage plans for her daughter, Myrtle Mae.

Veta Louise feels she must commit her brother to a sanatorium.

This sets off a series of unexpected and hilarious events.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is Greystones Players’ fifth major production.

It promises a lively and engaging theatrical experience for all.
