- Harvey r l p f ' Bruce Bunner chats with Nurse Will. RABBIT MAKES DEBUT Art of acting — Under the direction of Mr. James Kibler and student director Shae Wolf, the Memorial Drama Department presented Harvey, a three act play by Mary Chase. Harvey is the story of a man, Elwood P. Dowd, who claims his best friend is a six foot rabbit named Harvey. Elwood causes his family endless embarrassment when he introduces Harvey to friends and relatives who can neither see nor hear him. It becomes evident to Elwood ' s sister, Veta, that the only cure for him would be institu- tional care. Veta, however, in the process, gets herself committed. The play, hilarious at times, was presented on Decem- ber 3, 4 and 5. Chairman of the stage crew was Rob Livers. Miss Theresa Creech sponsored the make-up crew, along with Staci Lothamer, chairperson. Publicity for the play was handled by Eva Levi. fall play 23
