 Mary Coyle Chase's Harvey -- featuring Elwood P. Dowd and his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit -- has been an American favorite since it was first brought to the Broadway stage in 1944. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1944, and its initial run lasted for four years-1,775 performances. It has continually been revived around the globe since then. It was also adapted to film in 1950, starring Hollywood legend James Stewart, and has become one of Stewart's best-loved films. Schenectady Civic Players has mounted two full-scale productions of Harvey during it's 80-year history - one in 1951, the other in 1982.
