‘Harvey’ wins by a ‘hare’ Yes Virginia, there is a “Harvey.” The invisible rab- bit made his appearance at the Drama Department’s spring production of the play by author Mary Chase. The performances of the comedy, “Harvey,” were held in the Calumet audito- rium on the evenings of March 21, and 22. The story’s action centers around a small town man, Elwood P. Dowd, who adopts an imaginary six feet tall rabbit as his best friend. Other family members attempt to have Dowd com- mitted to an institution.
