Summer Rep 2015
Harvery by Mary Chase
Elwood P. Dowd insists on including his friend Harvey in all of his sister Veta’s social gatherings. Trouble is, Harvey is an imaginary six-and-a-half-foot-tall rabbit. To avoid future embarrassment for her family - and especially for her daughter, Myrtle Mae - Veta decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium. At the sanitarium, a frantic Veta explains to the staff that her years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also, and so the doctors mistakenly commit her instead of her mild-mannered brother. The truth comes out, however; Veta is freed, and the search is on for Elwood, who eventually arrives at the sanitarium of his own volition, looking for Harvey. But it seems that Elwood and his invisible companion have had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn’t so bad after all!

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Wingfield
Returning to Sunnyvale by popular demand! For any of you that thought that Shakespeare was either long or tedious, there is a great surprise in store for you this summer. You can witness all 37 plays of Shakespeare - abridged - in under two hours. Impossible, you say! Shakespeare said that “brevity is the soul of wit,” and this madcap comedy will illustrate his point. Developed by a comedy troupe that excels in taking long, serious material and developing it into short, sharp, informed hilarity, this production gives new meaning to fast-paced comedy. If you are seeking laughter and the funniest night you’ll ever have in the theatre, this is the show for you! “Breathlessly paced, slapstick merriment!” - New York Times

Just So Stories
