The comedic play will run Thursday through Saturday at Whitefish Bay High School.
The Whitefish Bay High School drama club will raise the curtain on 'Harvey', its newest theatrical production, Thursday night. In the comedic play, Elwood P. Dowd introduces his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, at a society party, prompting his sister Veta to have her eccentric brother committed to a sanitarium, sparing her daughter Myrtle Mae and their family from future embarrassment. Problems arise, however, when Veta herself is mistakenly assumed to be on the verge of lunacy when she explains to doctors that years of living with Elwood’s hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also.

The Whitefish Bay High School Theater Department tackles a lofty script that is sure to challenge the audience with questions about mathematics, physics, history and certainty of truth.
It's not your typical high school play: subjects such as thermodynamics, entropy and chaos theory all coming together in two separate time periods, glued together with a literary prose that makes the audience question the certainty of knowledge. Whitefish Bay High School Theater Director John Coleman said Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia" might be the most challenging show he has directed in his 13 years at the high school, but he said it has been rewarding to see students take on the weighty script. "When I read it, I thought, 'What a fantastic script.' It's just so well written. I also knew that it was kind of heavy and deep, but it was just such an amazing script that I really wanted to do it," he said. "Technically it isn't that difficult, it …
