“Harvey,” the 1945 Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy by Mary Chase, is about a perfect gentleman, Elwood P. Dowd, and his best friend, Harvey -- a pooka, who is a six-and-a-half-foot-tall invisible rabbit. When Elwood begins introducing Harvey around town, his embarrassed sister, Veta Louise and her daughter, Myrtle Mae, are determined to commit Elwood to a sanitarium. A mistake is made, and the doctors mistakenly commit Veta into the sanitarium rather than Elwood. What ensues is a comedy of errors resulting in mistaken identities, misdiagnoses, and a search for the elusive, invisible rabbit that reminds us to embrace the quirks that make us special.
