Auditions for Gallery Theater’s Harvey Set for December 2 & 3

November 14, 2018 By City of West Chicago

Gallery Theater of West Chicago will hold auditions for Harvey by Mary Chase, directed by Jack Smith.

This timeless comedy classic is the story of Elwood P. Dowd and his friend Harvey, an invisible six-and-a-half-foot rabbit. Set in the 1940s, as is the case with many classics, the message it delivers is timeless.

Auditions will be held:

Sunday, December 2, 2018 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Monday, December 3, 2018 from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

There is No Pay.  

Rehearsals begin immediately upon being cast based on cast availability and will break over the holidays.

The play runs three weekends:

February 15,16, 17, and 22, 23, 24, 2019 and March 1,2,3, 2019.

Characters:

  • Elwood P. Dowd – 40’s-50’s   An extremely accepting person who enjoys everything about life. Elwood’s best friend is Harvey, an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit.

  • Ethel Chauvenet – 60’s-70’s  An old friend of the family and a distinguished member of the town’s social circle, which Veta wants Myrtle to break into.
  • Dr. William B. Chumley – 50’s-60’s  An esteemed psychiatrist and the head of the sanitarium.
  • Betty Chumley – 50’s-60’s  Dr. Chumley’s wife who is more concerned with socializing than with science.

  • Dr. Lyman Sanderson – 20’s-30’s  A highly qualified psychiatrist who was hand-picked by Dr. Chumley.
