WILLIAMSVILLE, VT – The Rock River Players are thrilled to announce their upcoming production of the classic screwball comedy “Harvey,” taking the stage at Williamsville Hall this fall. Audiences can witness this timeless story unfold with performances over two weekends, from September 29th through October 8th.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy by Mary Chase, “Harvey” tells the story of Elwood P. Dowd and his unlikely companion, an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit. As Elwood’s family tries to commit him to a sanitarium, the tale unfolds with delightful humor and heart, reminding us all of the power of imagination and the importance of acceptance.
“We are extremely excited to bring ‘Harvey’ to life. It’s a classic story but has a radical message of compassion and integrity,” says director Pamela Corkey. “We have an incredible cast and crew, many of whom are new to the Players and have gone above and beyond to share the magic of this beloved comedy with our community.”
“This is a performance that promises to be both entertaining and thought-provoking, capturing the imagination of all who attend,” says the show’s producer, Amy Donahue, who assumed her role as Co-Artistic Director of the Players this past June.
Join the Rock River Players for a night of laughter, soul, and whimsy with “Harvey,” on September 29th & 30th at 7pm; October 1st at 2pm; October 6th & 7th at 7pm; and October 8th at 2pm.
