"I love this play. It is witty, unique, profound, magical, and very, very funny," says director Ed Shea. "I can't imagine a better way to spend a summer night than following the adventures of Elwood P. Dowd. It is a ‘fantastic' story, in every sense of the word."

Affable Elwood P. Dowd and his Pooka (a 6 ½ foot invisible rabbit Harvey) have brought Elwood's sister Veta to the end of her rope. While trying to commit Elwood to a sanitarium, it's Veta who winds up in the doctor's care. When Elwood returns to the hospital in search of Harvey, and risks the doctor's interference on his sweet personality, Veta realizes that, in the end, she loves the kind-hearted Elwood just as he is.

Located on the first floor of 2nd Story Theatre, the Cafe is a full service bar and cafe, opened to the public on performance dates, Wednesday - Sunday evenings. The Cafe offers a deliciously light menu of soups, salads, and panini, at a deliciously light price. A convenient way to start the evening, the Cafe will ensure arriving at the performance by curtain time - just a short trip one flight up. Then back downstairs to conclude the evening with late-night cocktails and desserts. The Cafe is also open for dining during the performance, beginning at 8pm. Reservations required for pre-show dining. Call 401-247-4200 to reserve a table.

2nd Story Theatre is a professional, non-union company with a unique aesthetic and the highest artistic standards for excellence in the performance of great plays in its relaxed 130 seat black box theatre. Founded in Newport, Rhode Island in 1978 by Pat Hegnauer and Ed Shea, the theatre found a permanent home in the historic district of Warren, RI in 2001 under the artistic direction of Ed Shea. 2nd Story Theatre offers acting classes through its studio arm, the Actorsworkshop.
