MANCHESTER, CONNECTICUT – Little Theatre of Manchester continues Harvey on stage through February 18. Elwood P. Dowd is a perfect gentleman with only one character flaw: an unwavering friendship with a six-foot-tall rabbit named Harvey. Harvey is a hilarious whirlwind of confusion and chaos as everyone tries to catch a man and his invisible rabbit.

HARVEY is directed by LTM director and actor Shane William Kegler whose previous LTM credits include Twelfth Night and last season’s The 39 Steps. He was last seen on the Cheney Hall stage in last season’s Sons of the Prophet. The cast features Mitch Hess of Vernon as Elwood P. Dowd and Virginia Wolf of Farmington as Veta Louise Simmons, Elwood’s sister. The rest of the cast includes Mara Pelto of Storrs, Sunny Kirkham of Ashford, Lauren Casola of West Hartford, Scott “Woody” Woodruff of Vernon, Oliver Kochol of Southington, Mark O'Donnell of Windsor, Rayah Martin of Manchester, David Regan of South Hadley, and David Barbour of Ashford.
