HarveyBy Mary Chase; Directed by Debra FreebergJULY 11, 12, 13 • 7:30 PMTickets - Adult $18 • Student $14One of the most celebrated plays of the 20th Century, Harvey is the story of Elwood P. Dowd and his imaginary friend, a six-and-a-half foot tall rabbit named Harvey. His sister, Veta, mortifi ed when Elwood starts introducing Harvey to party guests, decides to have him committed to a sanitarium. The doctors mistakenly assume that Veta is the one on the verge of lunacy and commits her, instead! When the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood, and once he returns to the sanitarium, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood’s delusion has had a strange infl uence on more than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn’t so bad after all. Immortalized by Jimmy Stewart on fi lm and revived in 2012 on Broadway, this Pulitzer Prize-winning story brings universal truths to the stage, but is also a heck of a lot of fun. This is a family-friendly production; appropriate for audiences 10 years old and above.

RAhAhAhALove LettersBy A.R. Gurney; Directed by Jim QueryAUGUST 15, 16, 17 • 7:30 PMTickets - Adult $18 • Student $14Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years, but eventually go their own ways into very different lives. As the actors bring a lifetime of letters alive on the stage, what is created is an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling story in which what is implied is as revealing and meaningful as what is actually written down. Performed by real-life husband and wife Joe and Natalie Carmolli, Love Letters is a show you won’t soon forget. This production contains some mature situations and language; not appropriate for audiences under 16 years old.

Accompanied by other members of the Peanuts gang, these characters will warm your heart, tickle your funny bone, and remind you that everyone has their own little personality quirks. A perfect show for the entire family, this performance showcases talented and experienced Nuveen Theatre workshop students.

Don Browning, a middle-aged writer, returns home and decides to fi nally honor his father’s request to return his ashes to his childhood home in Mount Union, Iowa. When Don discovers that Grandma’s home is now a grocery store, he begins traveling across Iowa searching for a proper resting place for his father, meeting some strange and funny characters along the way. Starring Playhouse favorites Chris Beaman, Bryan Engler, Sheila Wahamaki, Andrea Mathews, Kimberly Harsch, and Ray Brazaski, Leaving Iowa is a hilarious and touching postcard to anyone who spent hours on the road as a kid in the backseat traveling across the country and the lasting memories those road trips created.
