Pollard Theatre Welcomes The Delightful HARVEY, 8/6-28

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."
