This show was great. 310 people attended the production.
When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend Harvey, a six-and-a-half foot rabbit, to guests at a dinner party, his sister Veta has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. This funny and touching play was made into a movie starring Jimmy Stewart as Elwood and Harvey, well, as himself. This is a great show to start off the 2001 MainStreet Theatre season!

Nick spends every Sunday with both sets of his Italian-born grandparents. When Nick announces that his is being transferred across the country, his grandparents conspire to give him a reason to stay. Over the River is a wonderfully affirming play about family, but it's mostly just funny--Very Funny!

Grand evenings of hilarity!
About 315 people attended this show.
This renowned comedy by famous playwright Neil Simon involves two best friends that move in together after divorce. Felix (the neat-nik) and Oscar (the slob) clash from day one but they'll have you rolling in the aisles before the play is over. This hilarious romp first appeared on New York's Broadway, was then made into a movie with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and finally a TV series with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. Go see this one!
