Saint Sebastian Players to Continue 44th Season With Classic Comedy HARVEY

The Saint Sebastian Players will continue their 44th "supernatural" season with the classic, Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy Harvey by Mary Chase. Previews run February 13-15, with regular performances February 20-March 8, at SSP's home on the lower level of St. Bonaventure, 1625 W. Diversey, Chicago.

Elwood P. Dowd insists on going everywhere with his friend Harvey, a shapeshifting "pooka" who appears as a six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit that only he can see. To avoid future embarrassment, his sister Veta decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium, resulting in mixups and confusion, with Elwood and his invisible companion having a strange influence on more than one of the doctors. In the end, Veta realizes that maybe Harvey isn't so bad after all.

Directing Harvey is Lisa M. Ramos, whose past directing credits include The Raven and Other Native American Folklore at Los Encinos, The Breakfast Club at Epic Academy and an updated Romeo and Juliet at Chicago Bulls College Prep. She has also stage managed SSP's recent productions of The Haunting of Hill House; Five Women Wearing the Same Dress; Bell, Book and Candle; and Barefoot in the Park.
