SCCC to Perform Fall Play, "Harvey"

8/11/2025 12:00:00 PM

"Harvey" Play at SCCCSussex County Community College (SCCC) presents the 1945 Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, “Harvey” by Mary Chase.

“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.

“Harvey” is directed by Allison Ognibene and will be performed at the SCCC Performing Arts Center, located at 1 College Hill Road, Newton, NJ 07860.

Harvey Show Dates: Thursday, November 6, at 7 p.m., Friday, November 7, at 7 p.m. Saturday, November 8, at 2 p.m., Friday, November 14, at 7 p.m. Saturday, November 15 at 2 p.m. Saturday, November 15 at 7 p.m.
