Comedies have long been a favorite of Burlington audiences so it
is with great excitement that Burlington High School announces it will present
Harvey, the Pulitzer Prize-winning
comedy by Mary Chase. Performances will take place on Friday, December 14 at
7:30 pm and Saturday, December 15 at 2:00 pm.
Best known for its 1950s film adaptation starring James Stewart, Harvey 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 embarassed sister, Veta Louise, and her
daughter, Myrtle Mae, decide to have him committed. However, comic
misunderstandings ensue, hilarity abounds and, in the end, acceptance reigns
supreme!
Leading the cast as Elwood P. Dowd is David Kolifrath. He is
joined by Alison Martin as Myrtle Mae Simmons and Erin Kerr as Veta Louise
Simmons. Also appearing are Grace Visco as Miss Johnson, Juliana Grossman as
Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet, Emily Campagna as Ruth Kelly RN, Rachad Mesnaoui as Duane
Wilson, Nathanial Trofimow as Lyman Sanderson, Luis Villalta as William R
Chumley, Caitlin Shea as Betty Chumley, Levi Theirrien as Judge Omar Gaffney
and Joshua DeRome Taylor as EJ Lofgren.
Performances of Harvey will take place in the Fogelberg
Performing Arts Center, an accessible venue, located on the campus of Burlington High School, 123 Cambridge
Street, Burlington MA. Tickets are $10 for students and senior citizens, $15 for adults, and
are available at BurlingtonTheatre.com, 781-A-FUN-TIC and at the door.
