SUN CITY - Elwood Dowd, the kind-hearted, eccentric protagonist of the play, “Harvey,” enjoys talking to strangers, although, he says, they don’t stay strangers for long.
“Soon, the faces of all the other people, they turn toward mine and they smile,” says Elwood. “And they’re saying, ‘We don’t know your name, mister, but you’re a very nice fella.’”
The Theatre Company of Sun City will present “Harvey,” a play that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1945, boasted over 1,700 performances on Broadway in its first run, and went on to capture the hearts of moviegoers when Jimmy Stewart portrayed Elwood in the 1950 movie adaptation.
