HARVEY

March 27, 2020 @ 7:30 am - April 5, 2020 @ 2:00 am PDT

A whimsical imaginary friend, a man with substance problems, a family who doesn’t understand and wish to lock their delusional brother away – all create the backdrop for the thought-provoking first of the 2020 productions by the Ojai Performing Arts Theater, “HARVEY” opening March 27 at Matilija Auditorium for two weekends.

OPAT Artistic Director Richard Camp continues to bring plays to Ojai that contain timeless relevance. He has done this again as he directs “HARVEY” with Director Craig Anderson. Working together in 2018 with “On Golden Pond,” the two have teamed again and cast a delectably talented group of actors for this adaptation.

“Craig Anderson and I are very excited to have found these dynamic actors to fill out the cast,” Camp said. “Each of them has the talent and creative drive to bring this American classic to a new life in the compelling and vigorously spirited manner that we intend… and may even make you believe that invisible rabbits DO exist!

“’HARVEY’ is not just a “little, lighthearted comedy,” said Camp, “but one that’s been compared to “Cuckoo’s Nest” in its handling of mental illness and alcoholism, without losing its delightful sense of humor. It won the Pulitzer Prize over Tennessee’s “The Glass Menagerie” in 1945… quite an achievement.”

THE CAST IS…

Brittany Danyel Schottky as Myrtle Mae Simmons

Lee Ann Manley as Veta Louise Simmons

Jim Halverson as Elwood P. Dowd

Susan Kelejian as Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet

Angelica Smith as Ruth Kelly, R.N.

Alexander Schottky as Duane Wilson

Michael Holden as Dr. Sanderson

Paul Sulzman as Dr. Chumley

Sindy McKay as Betty Chumley

David Newcomer as Judge Gaffney

Louis Graham as E. J. Lofgren

Opening night will have special VIP tickets that include a post-show, meet-the-actors reception.
