HARVEY

Harvey, was written by Mary Chase.  Harvey  is the classic story of Elwood P. Dowd and his best friend Harvey...an invisible six foot tall rabbit.  When his sister Vera and niece Myrtle grow increasingly embarrassed by Elwood and his interactions with his invisible friend, Vera resorts to drastic measures. 

She takes Elwood to Chumley's Rest to have him committed.  Between Vera's rambling explanation and Elwood's charming personality a mix up occurs and Vera is committed instead!

When the error is discovered the hunt is on for Elwood and then Dr. Chumley who gets lost in the search.  When everyone returns will the doctors make Harvey go away for good or could it be that having Harvey around isn't as bad as it seems?

The Octette Bridge Club

A delightful, sentimental comedy about American life in a bygone era.  On alternate Friday evenings, eight sisters of Irish descent meet to play bridge and gossip.  The first act takes place in 1934, the second ten years later during a Halloween bridge party where each acts out her costume’s persona.  The emotionally distraught youngest, has just gotten out of a sanitarium and knows that she must loosen the bonds to her smothering family and strike out on her own.  The sisters talk about their childhood, their marriages, their children and each other as they air old and new grievances and loyalties.

The Guild Theatreworks will be presenting a reading of "Everyday Women"  on Tuesday, May 14th, at the Main Branch of the Ocean County Library, Washington Street, Toms River at 6:30pm.

An original play by Mary Anderson, it uses the actual words of women throughout the history of these United States to create a production using music to reflect on the joys, hardships, and heroism of women who cope with marriage, motherhood, and careers throughout our country's days of exploration, revolution, slavery, war times, and peace.

The production is an historical retrospective of women's experiences told in their own voices. It spans from the arrival of the first American settlers to World War II.
