The Brewster Theater Company, Inc. announces auditions for their Spring 2005 production of 

by Mary Chase

Who said imaginary friends were for kids only!  

Elwood P. Dowd has a very special friend, and this friend is so special that Elwood wants to share him with everyone...much to the humiliation and frustration of his sister Veta.  Veta is anxious to provide the best social opportunities for her daughter, Myrtle Mae. But there is no room in this plan for Elwood's friend.....a six-and-a-half foot rabbit named Harvey!   The situation calls for drastic action, but Veta's plan to commit Elwood to a sanitarium backfires when she admits that after years of living with this problem she is beginning to actually see Harvey herself.   A comedy of errors ensues while the doctors at the sanitarium endeavor to identify and incarcerate the right lunatic.  But don't underestimate Harvey's persuasive personality and amazing power to put everything into perspective.

Join our audition mailing list, to be the first to know about upcoming auditions! 

Everyone is always encouraged to audition.

No Experience is necessary!
"I can’t act!", you say. But a theater has many other slots to fill before a production is ready for an audience. Some are: build sets;  write publicity; box office; design programs; ushers; work on the Newsletter; props; costumes;  and on and on and on. So come and find out more about this fun and fulfilling community group!

So what happens when you come?
You'll be asked to read a scene or multiple scenes from the play with several other actors.

Very Important - Bring a list of dates (conflicts) when you will not be available to rehearse.

If you are not cast on your first attempt, don't be discouraged. There are lots of reasons director's cast a show the way they do and you may have an opportunity in another show.
