Austin Pendleton, actor, director,playwright & master teacher. “I loveworking with Bill in his ACTING BY MISTAKE workshops. I’ve been taking hisworkshops for over two years now. He gets us to ‘connect’ with the character inan organic way. He helps us allay the normal fears we have as actors, and ourneed to get it ‘right’, by creating a playful process in which we focus more onthe character’s experience than getting the exact words of the text correct inthe rehearsal process. That is so freeing. I’m feeling much more confident nowin how I approach a character, and trust that organic process of developing acharacter.” John Sannuto, Chair, TheatreDepartment, Long Island university.

Audition & Performance location: The Cassidy Theater 6200 Pearl Road Parma Heights, OH 44130 (440) 842-4600 boxoffice(a)cassidytheatre.com Rehearsals: Sundays–Thursdays 7pm-10pm, January 2nd - February 3rd, 2022, with some occasional Saturday afternoon rehearsals. (w/ a read-through occurring before the holiday break in December 2021) Available Roles: Elwood P. Dowd: (M, 30s – 60s) a friendly eccentric who spends his days and nights in the taverns. Elwood’s best friend is Harvey, an invisible six and a half-foot-tall rabbit. Dr. Lyman Sanderson: (M, 20s – 40s) young, for a psychiatrist, but very qualified — Dr. Chumley has picked him out of the twelve possible assistants that he tried. He is just as infatuated with Nurse Kelly as she is with him, but he only reveals his concern indirectly. Nurse Ruth Kelly: (F, 20s – 40s) a sympathetic character, a pretty young woman who appears to have some sort of love/hate relationship with Dr. Sanderson. Dr. William B. Chumley: (40s - 60s) an esteemed psychiatrist and the head of the sanitarium, “Chumley’s Rest,” to which Veta has Elwood taken. He is a difficult, exacting man, feared by his subordinates, unwilling to tolerate his mistakes. Wilson: (M, 20s – 40s) the muscle of Chumley’s Rest, a devoted orderly responsible for handling the patients who will not cooperate voluntarily. Myrtle: (F, Late Teens – 30s) Myrtle lives with her widowed mother Veta in her Uncle Elwood's home. Unmarried and eager to meet eligible men but believes her uncle's peculiar behavior is ruining her chances. Veta Louise Simmons: (F, 30s-50s) Elwood's sister Veta is becoming undone by her brother's relationship with the invisible Harvey. She decides to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium to spare the family any further embarrassment. However the easily flustered Veta ends up being committed herself when she confesses that she too feels that she sometimes "sees" Harvey. Betty Chumley (the doctor's wife): (F, 40s-60s) more concerned with socializing than with science: told that her husband has to examine a patient, she tells him, “Give a little quick diagnosis, Willie — we don’t want to be late to the party.” Judge Omar Gaffney: (M, 50+) an old family friend of the Dowd's, a representative of the people in town who are accustomed to seeing Elwood talking to Harvey and who do not think anything of it. Ethel Chauvenet: (F, 40+) an old friend of the family. She is a member of the town’s social circle, which Veta wants Myrtle to break into, and so they both flatter her and curry her favor. E. J. Lofgren: (F, any age) A cab driver who regularly takes patients to and from Chumley's Rest - and sees the negative results. Miss Johnson – (F, any age) Works for the Simmons household. She only appears briefly in the first act. Synopsis: 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 embarassment 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. If you have any questions or cannot attend auditions, but would still like to set up a time to audition, please feel free to contact the director at cmb164(a)zips.uakron.edu for more information.
