By Mary Chase. Everyone wants to meet Elwood Dowd and his friend Harvey. When they enter a room, strangers soon become friends and people want to share a drink with them. But Harvey is a six-foot invisible rabbit and Elwood's sister wants him gone. The question is -- does the world need another "normal" chap, or more Harvey's? A new look at this Pulitzer Prize-winning play, made famous by Jimmy Stewart's portrayal of the loveable Elwood Dowd in the 1950 film. 1-800-511-SHAW.

An Ideal Husband

By Oscar Wilde. When a husband behaves badly, should a wife always stand by her man? The quest for power and ambition finally catches up with a much-admired politician one night at an elegant party, when a past misdeed is revealed by a beautiful stranger. The options are clear -- public scandal or the loss of his trusting wife -- but how to choose? Wilde's play about infidelity and life in the political arena remains witty and utterly relevant more than a century after it was first performed in 1895. Tickets: 1-800-511-SHAW.
