Here Comes ‘Harvey’

The Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue will open its 30th season next Thursday at 7 p.m. with “Harvey,” Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a six-foot-tall rabbit visible to only a few people. The production will run through Nov. 9, with Thursday and Friday performances at 7 p.m., Saturday shows at 8, and Sunday matinees at 2:30.

The play ran for 1,775 performances on Broadway before being adapted for a film of the same name in 1950. On both stage and screen, Jimmy Stewart played Elwood P. Dowd, an affable, eccentric man who wants to introduce his invisible rabbit friend to everybody he sees.

The Quogue production will be directed by Diana Marbury, the theater’s artistic director, with Matthew Conlon in the title role. Tickets are $25, $23 for senior citizens (except Saturday), and $10 for students under 21.
