HARVEY

Matilija Auditorium
Ojai, CA

Share this event:

HARVEY is not just a "little, lighthearted comedy" but one that's been compared to "Cuckoo's Nest" in its handling of mental illness and alcoholism. It won the Pulitzer Prize over Tennessee's "Glass Menagerie" in 1945! Directors are Craig Anderson and Richard Camp.

HARVEY, a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, is the story of a perfect gentleman, Elwood P. Dowd, and his best friend, Harvey -- a six-foot-tall, invisible rabbit. When Elwood begins introducing Harvey around town, his embarrassed sister, Veta Louise, and her daughter, Myrtle Mae, determine to commit Elwood to a sanitarium. A mistake is made, however, and Veta is committed rather than Elwood! Eventually, the error is realized, and a frantic search begins for Elwood and the invisible rabbit, which ends with Elwood appearing, voluntarily, at the sanitarium. Oddly, the invisible rabbit has a strange influence on the sanitarium workers, including the head psychiatrist, Dr. Chumley. In the end, with the advice of a no-nonsense cab driver, Veta realizes that she loves her brother and his invisible best friend just as they are and doesnt want either of them to change.

The Ojai Performing Arts Theater Foundation (OPAT) listens to the community we serve. At this moment in time, our community is on an increasingly anxious alert. So, with an abundance of caution, we have decided to postpone our production of "Harvey" until later in the year when this apprehension and threat have passed. We should be making an announcement soon on our new dates. In the meantime, thank you for your understanding. We are working on a procedure for those folks who have already purchased tickets and would like a refund. However, all tickets and seat reservations will be honored for our production of Harvey in the fall for those customers willing to wait until the fall.
