Harvey
A comedy by Mary Chase
Directed by Amanda Marsh
May 14 - 31

Pay What You Can Preview – May 14 (Tickets sold at the door only – General seating)

When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey – a very tall rabbit – to guests at a society party, his sister Veta, can no longer tolerate his eccentricities. She decides to have Elwood committed to Chumley’s Rest, a sanitarium, to spare her family from future embarrassment.

Problems arise, however, when Veta herself is mistakenly assumed to be on the verge of lunacy when she explains to doctors that years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have caused her to see Harvey as well! Veta is committed instead of Elwood, but when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion. When he shows up looking for his lost friend, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood’s delusion has had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors. Only then does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn’t so bad after all.

The Half-Life of Marie Curie
By Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Marla O'Brien

$15 per ticket

This show will be performed in our lounge.
-- 40 seats available per performance.

The Half-Life of Marie Curie depicts the true story of trailblazing scientists Marie Curie and Hertha Ayrton, close friends who navigated male-dominated fields in the early 20th century. Following a scandalous affair that threatens her career, a demoralized Curie finds refuge with Ayrton, who helps her overcome public shame and reclaim her scientific legacy. Set mostly at Ayrton’s seaside home in England during the summer of 1912, the play explores their shared brilliance, personal joys and losses, and the immense pressure of living as pioneers in science. This luminous, empowering and often humorous play explores the resilience of friendship and the strength it takes to stand tall in a world determined to tear you down.

**Contains strong language and mature themes**
