The Pollard Theatre in historic downtown Guthrie, OK proudly presents the delightful American classic, Harvey, running August 6 through August 28, 2010.

Affable Elwood P. Dowd has a kind word for everyone he meets. He lives a quiet life with his social-climbing sister and her daughter and is devoted to his loyal and trustworthy friend and constant companion, Harvey. The fact that Harvey happens to be a six-foot tall invisible rabbit doesn't seem to bother Elwood but is an ongoing embarrassment to his family who decides to have him committed. In this Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, the medical establishment is turned topsy-turvy as Elwood and Harvey cause pandemonium.

"From its original Broadway run to Jimmy Stewart's unforgettable film performance to regional productions all across the country, Elwood P. Dowd and his pal, Harvey have cheered and inspired American audiences." Pollard Artistic Director W. Jerome Stevenson said. "We could think of no more fitting play to kick off our celebration of 24 wonderful seasons of laughter and we're certain audiences will agree."

The Pollard Theatre Company was formed in 1987 as the focal project of the Guthrie Arts & Humanities Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Located in the heart of historic downtown Guthrie, Oklahoma, the Pollard produces six major productions a year, with an emphasis on creative story-telling that illuminates the shared human experience. Built around the core of their resident company members, the Pollard additionally utilizes the talents of skilled theatre artists from across the region. Season after season, the Pollard brings shows never before produced in the state while continuing to set the standard for quality theatre in Oklahoma.

The Pollard Theatre is produced by the Guthrie Arts and Humanities Council with funding provided by the Oklahoma Arts Council and the National Endowment of the Arts. The Pollard Theatre is also a recipient of a marketing grant from the Inasmuch Foundation.
