Harvey
The Claire vg Thomas Theatre
Lynden, WA
Share this event:


This charming award-winning comedy has been delighting audiences for over 70 years.  It's the story of Elwood P. Dowd, a pleasant man who has an imaginary friend named Harvey  a six foot, three-and-a-half-inch tall "pooka" resembling a rabbit.  Because Elwood insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister's social gatherings, (introducing him to those in attendance), she decides to have him committed to a sanitarium in order to avoid further embarrassment for her family.  At the sanitarium, she explains to the staff that her years of living with Elwood's hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also, and so the doctors mistakenly commit her instead of her mild-mannered brother.  The truth comes out, however; she is freed, and the search is on for Elwood, who eventually arrives at the sanitarium of his own volition, looking for Harvey.  But it seems that Elwood and his invisible companion have had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors.  Only at the end does the sister realize that maybe Harvey isn't so bad after all.  

Harvey teaches audiences that we all have the power to choose happiness over sorrow, contentment over dissatisfaction, and pleasure over pain.  Elwood chooses Harvey.  Granted, for the rest of us the choice may not be offered; Harvey does not reveal himself to everyone, but if we should see him, shouldn't we too participate in the fantasy?
