Ernie Chipchase. of Lakewood Gardens sub - .division is a patient at At 4 ,, The Playhouse Even though you couldn't see him. Harvey stole the show at Huron Country Playhouse -Wednesday night. The giant invisible . white rabbit did a fine job of opening and closing doors as he went through them. His co-star, Don Porter as Elwood P. Dowd gave an equally good performance• and the two of them brought many laughs from the audience. The message of Harvey -- that it's better to be a crazy' but cheerful- person than a normal and crabby person -- came through loud and clear. And i think that everyone in the audience was glad to hear it. Porter gave an ex' ellent rendition of Dowd --kindly and friendly but a bit of a drunk and a somewhat sexy senior citizen. Porter was kept busy patting Harvey on the back. winking at him and adjusting his bow tie. Araby Lockhart was very good as Dowd's sister --just •crazy enough to be a relative• and just nice enough to be his sister. Her actions. such as tugging at her girdle before she an- swered the phone, produced many laughes. Exeter's own Kim McCaffery did very well in her first professional role. Ms. McCaffery played Myrtle Mae --the reluctant hankie -waver. with the round shoulders. She had just the right amount of whine in her voice when answering to her mother's requests. - Mary Ashwell and Pat Moffatt gave solid per- formances er- o. mce rii7W7 thevtypical The rest of,the performer workdAtogether***etP407 make'the play funny and get the message across. The settings --troth the elegant Dowd living room, and the doctor's office --were good. The crew were able to. t . cm+r With Mary Alderson change them in fairly decent time. There were no complaints with costumes either --from Elwood's rumpled suit jacket to Myrtle Mae's lovely pink dress. Director James MuTplly has done well to put this large cast together and come up with a show that fits in all the right places. Harvey is a comedy classic --if you haven't seen it. it's a must. If you have seen it. whether it was James Stewart in the movie, or elsewhere on stage, you'll be glad to see it again..Huron Country Playhouse's version is summer stock at its best.
