Burlington High School will perform Mary Chase’s Pulitzer
Prize-winning comedy, “Harvey,” this Friday, December 14, at 7:30 pm, and Saturday, December 15, at 2:00 pm. Performances take place in the Fogelberg
Performing Arts Center of the high school.
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 embarrassed 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!
Director Kade Hill has assembled a cast of exceptional
talent. Leading the cast are David Kolifrath as Elwood P. Dowd, Alison Martin
as Myrtle Mae Simmons, Erin Kerr as Veta Louise Simmons, Grace Visco as Miss
Johnson, Julianna Grossman as Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet, Emily Campagna as Ruth
Kelly, R.N., Rachad Mesnaoui as Duane Wilson, Nathaniel Trofimow as Lyman
Sanderson, Luis Villalta as William Chumley, M.D., Caitlin Shea as Betty
Chumley, Levi Theirrien as Judge Omar Gaffney and Joshua DeRome Taylor as EJ
Lofgren.
Harvey is produced by John Middleton-Cox, set designed by Peter
Waldron and stage managed by BHS student Samantha Cobuzzi-Luecke.
