Admission is $7 for TNHS students and $10 General Admission. Children 5 and under are free.
In the play, Elwood P. Dowd is an affable man who claims to have an unseen (and presumably imaginary) friend Harvey — whom Elwood describes as a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch tall pooka resembling an anthropomorphic rabbit.
Elwood introduces Harvey to everyone he meets. His social-climbing sister, Veta, increasingly finds his eccentric behavior embarrassing. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium.
The following TNHS students are featured: Donovan Roswall as Elwood P. Dowd; Faith Fenwick as Veta Louise Simmons; Lily Ramsey as Myrtle Mae Simmons; Evan Logsdon as Lyman Sanderson, M.D.; JJ Kassinger as William Chumley, M.D.; Nicole Reed as Ruth Kelly, R.N.; Brandon Mattingly as Judge Omar Gaffney; Austin Walden as Officer Welty and Mr. Lapin; Bradley Douglas as E.J. Lofgren; Shelby Clark as Mrs. Chumley; LaDonna Curtsinger as Ms. Chauvenet.
