First Look at Ben Dibble in Walnut Street Theatre's Harvey

Walnut Street Theatre is set to open its 207th season with the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy Harvey. Directed by Bob Carlton, the play will begin previews on January 19, with an opening on January 27, for a run through March 6 on the Walnut’s Mainstage. Bob Carlton directs.

In Harvey, Elwood P. Dowd is charming and kind with one character flaw: an unwavering friendship with a 6-foot-tall, invisible white rabbit named Harvey. In order to save the family's social reputation, Elwood's sister Veta takes him to the local sanatorium.

The show's cast includes Ben Dibble as Elwood P. Dowd, Mary Martello as Veta Louise Simmons, Ellie Mooney as Myrtle Mae, Greg Wood as William R. Chumley, M.D., Ian Merrill Peakes as Lyman Sanderson, M.D., Lauren Sowa as Ruth Kelly, R.N., Susan Riley Stevens as Betty Chumley and Ethel Chauvenet, Dan Olmstead as Duane Wilson, Fran Prisco as E.J. Lofgren, and H. Michael Walls as Judge Omar Gaffney.

The full creative team from last season’s Private Lives will reunite for the production, including set designer Robert Koharchik, costume designer Mark Mariani, sound designer Elizabeth Atkinson, and lighting designer Stuart Duke.
