“Harvey” Opens June 24 at Renaissance

Huntington, WV (HNN) – Did you see the six foot rabbit standing on the corner next to the streetlight? Mary Chase’s classic, “Harvey,” comes to the Renaissance Center, June 24-27. The performances include a dinner option and/or a desert option. Tickets for the show only on Friday and Saturday, June 25-26 are $15. Curtain goes up at 8 p.m.
Best remembered as a signature role for James Stewart, Elwood P. Dood is an eccentric man in a small town constantly embarrassing his relatives with his “imaginary” friend, a pooka named Harvey. Whether you believe the creature is an alcoholic delusion , an eccentric lonely man’s “friend,” or a “real” incarnation, you will find that the comedy delights on all levels.
Harvey seems to follow Elwood everywhere, but the occasionally opening of doors and movement of objects suggest that the six foot rabbit and Elwood have a greater philosophic grip on life and reality than his family and an assemblage of shrinks and psychiatric hospital workers.
Dinner for the June 25-26 shows begins at 6:30 and is $25 (includes show ticket). The Desert shows are at 8 p.m. Thursday June 24 and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday June 27. They are $20.
