Who is your best friend? Does he or she happen to be a six-and-a-half-foot white rabbit named Harvey? Well, for Elwood P. Dowd it is. The fantastic show “Harvey” is being performed at the Ashland High School’s theater this February. This it the show you should not miss- It’s funny and heart-felt and is a classic play everyone should see.
The story of Elwood P. Dowd and his pal Harvey is a one curious story. Yes, it’s quite funny, but not only that-Elwood and his invisible friend have a different way of looking at life- a better way it seems. Everyone, including his sister, Veta, thinks Elwood should be locked up for good. But the shock is not only Elwood can see Harvey…
Veta and her daughter Myrtle Mae want to commit Elwood to a sanitarium which will, in their eyes, make him a normal person. But who wants to be normal?
“He will be a perfectly normal human being- and we know what bastards they are” – Cabby, played by Jackson Richmond.

The play at AHS will be directed by John Stadelman and the cast includes Jeremiah Lieberman ,Lindsey Crocker, Ceili Widmann, Mason McLellan, Noah Yaconelli, Aubyn Heglie, Shay Astor and other familiar students at Ashland High School.
