“Harvey” at RAAC Community Theatre--FREE Community Event

The RAAC Community Theatre invites the public to a “picnic" reading of the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy play “Harvey” on Sunday, July 23rd at 3:00pm at the theatre, 310 Gay St. in Little Washington.

If you ever had a desire to get up on the stage and participate in a production without having to learn lines or attend rehearsals, now is your chance. We call it low-impact theatre—we’ll supply the script, if you want to read a role. Or you can just watch and enjoy.

Bring something to eat and drink—that’s the “picnic” part—and we’ll have tables and chairs set up. This is a FREE event, our way of saying ‘thanks’ for the support we’ve received from the community.

If you know in advance that you want to read a role, contact Patty Hardee at [email protected], or Bob Hurley at [email protected]. Or you can signup at the door.
