HARVEY, Pulitzer Prize comedy opens in late February at AHS
Ashland High School Theatre will present the delightful Pulitzer prize-winning classic comedy, HARVEY. Directed by John Stadelman, this famous piece will preview February 27 and 28, and play March 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, at 7:30 p.m. with two Sun. matinees on March 3 and 10 at 2 p.m.at the Mountain Avenue Theatre, 201 South Mountain Avenue in Ashland.
Ok, yes, it’s a play involving an imaginary friend. So? Many people have imaginary friends. So, why should it be a surprise that Elwood P. Dowd has a friend only a few people can see, and then, only once in a while?
Harvey is Dowd’s friend and he’s a 6-foot tall white rabbit. He’s a “pooka” and Dowd believes so earnestly in him that he even manages to persuade his psychiatrist that Harvey is real. Sometimes Harvey can accurately predict the future! At one moment in the show, Dowd comments, “I’ve wrestled with reality for 40 years and I am happy to state that I won out over it,” capturing the essence of the play.
HARVEY, by Mary Chase, premiered November 1, 1944, playing for 1,775 performances. Later, in 1950, the story became better known when Jimmy Stewart played Dowd in the movie that garnered four Oscar nominations and for which he was nominated as Best Actor in a leading role. Playwright Chase received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama
for the work in 1945.
The cast includes Ceili Widmann as Myrtle Mae; Lindsey Crocker as Veta Louise; Jeremiah Lieberman as Elwood P. Dowd. Other featured players are Shay Astor (Mrs. Chauvenet): Aubyn Heglie (Nurse Kelly); Mason McLellan (Mr. Wilson);Noah Yaconelli (Dr. Sanderson);Joseph Yaconelli (Dr.Chumley); Isabel Enns (Betty Chumley);Braedon Bell (Judge) and Jackson Richmond (Cabby).

Ashland High School Theatre presents
And Then They Came for Me:
Remembering the World of Anne Frank
by
James Still
Directed by Betsy Bishop
May 2, 3, 4, 5 @ 7:30 p.m.
May 10, 11, and 12 @ 7:30 p.m.
One Sunday matinee on May 13 @ 2 p.m.
Ashland High School Theatre is proud to announce its Spring play,
And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank by James Still, presented from Wednesday, May 2 2 7:30 p.m. through Sunday, May 13 matinee for 8 performances only.
One of the most widely produced new plays,
And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank is a unique theatrical experience: a multimedia play that combines videotaped interviews with Holocaust survivors Ed Silverberg and Eva Schloss with live actors recreating scenes from their lives during World War II.
Ed was Anne Frank's first boyfriend, and she wrote about him in the beginning of her now-famous diary.
Eva Schloss was the same age as Anne Frank and lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam. Her family went into hiding the same day as the Frank family. And like the Frank family, they were betrayed. On Eva's 15th birthday, her family was arrested by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. Eva and her mother survived, and after the war her mother married Otto Frank (Anne's father).
Part oral history, part dramatic action, part direct address, part remembrance, the ensemble-driven
And Then They Came for Me breaks new ground and has been acclaimed by audiences and critics in world-wide productions. The Paul Still play won the AATE 2000 play award.
There will be optional 15-minute talk-back after each performance except on Saturday, May 12, which is AHS prom night. Oregon Holocaust Survivor Display will be shown in the lobby. Running time is about 75 minutes with no intermission.
Betsy Bishop directs a cast of 15 including Noah Werthaiser, Lindsey Crocker, Maya Zundel, Drew Starmer, Lisa Werfel, Noah Yaconelli, Jeremiah Lieberman, Haley Baldwin, Tristan Giannini, Tallon Shults, Jackson Richmond, Lilly Lion, Sarah Bestor and Alexa Neinhaus.
