Elwood P. Dowd is an affable man who claims to have an unseen (and presumably
imaginary) friend Harvey — whom Elwood describes as a six-foot,
one-and-one-half-inch tall pooka resembling
an anthropomorphic rabbit. Elwood introduces Harvey to everyone he meets. His
social-climbing sister, Veta, increasingly finds his eccentric behavior
embarrassing. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to
spare her and her daughter Myrtle Mae from future
embarrassment.<br /><br />When they arrive at the
sanitarium, a comedy of
errors ensues. The doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood, but when the truth
comes out the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion. When Elwood
shows up at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, it seems that the
mild-mannered Elwood's delusion has had
a strange influence on the staff, including sanitarium director Dr. Chumley and
his medical partner Dr. Sanderson. Only just before Elwood is to be given an
injection that will make him into a "perfectly normal human being, and you know
what bastards they are!" (in the words of a taxi cab
driver who has become involved in the proceedings) does Veta realize that
she'd rather have Elwood the same as he's always been — carefree and kind — even
if it means living with Harvey.-Wikipedia<br />NPTGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00171148946651182556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634245810976483363.post-81545311302098417572012-12-14T11:55:00.000-05:002012-12-14T14:32:21.232-05:00First Rehearsal - Monday, December 17th!

We Need YOUR Help!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had a great weekend celebrating our Grand Opening at the New Players
Theatre Guild Center For The Performing Arts!
We had a great show, that was well received, the cast had a blast and we
had a support staff assembled that couldn't be beat!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It WAS GREAT! (Revel in that for a
minute and wait for it..) But we are
just out of the starting gate! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
lights hadn't cooled down, before a rehearsal for, "The Sunshine
Boys," was on. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We really want to
keep NPTGlee going. We have auditions
for, "Amahl," in a few weeks.
When "Amahl and the Night Visitors," is done, we'll be right
into the Cabaret! We would really like help the Fitchburg Theater Company in any way we can with their productions as well. They have already been a great help to NPTG.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I am getting to is that WE NEED YOUR HELP! It's time to put more of the,
"community," into NPTG! You
need not want to be on stage or even know much of anything about
stagecraft. If you are willing to help, <u>you
will get all the support you need to learn.<o:p></o:p></u></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We need a producer, stage manager, stage hands, publicity help, house
managers, ushers, ticket managers, people to help with set construction,
lighting and perhaps sound.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Up until now, all of this stuff has been handled by a, "core" or
10-15 people and they can't do it all; but they would be willing to help more
people learn and take part in the joy of doing what we do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nancy and Bill may be involved with, "Amahl." Would someone be interested in helping
NPTGlee carry on during their absence?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Please think about what YOU can do, or want to learn more about.. You can all do something that will help and I
can pretty much guarantee you will enjoy being more of a part of NPTG.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">We will be having our second clean-up day,
this Saturday, July 28th, from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM in preparation for our
ribbon cutting and Open House on August 4th.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">If you can come, you might bring a broom
and any cleaning supplies you might like to donate. We should be washing
floors, windows and bathrooms.. all that FUN stuff!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">If you prefer to work outside, you might
bring a pair of brush loppers to help attack the growth in the back yard. We
should have someone with a truck to take it away.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">Thanks to Monica Bourgault and Jonathan
