Hi,
I am in charge of building the set for my schools comedy this year. We are doing "Harvey". I was wondering f anyone had any suggestions or pictures that they would be willing to share with me. Anything would be helpful. I am very capable of building great sets, so not much is too much for my crew and I. Thanks

Other than rigging the doors Harvey is supposed to go through so they can be opened and closed invisibly from the audience's perspective, the sets will be pretty standard issue. The Dowd household and the sanitarium. You can embellish the 'Harvey effect' by fixing drapery to move a little (on que, when Harvey walks past them), or maybe have a seat cushion that sinks down when he sits, or any of the miriad of 'invisibility effects' that would work for your Harvey, but really, the sets are pretty much 'normal theatre' in every other aspect. Good luck and have fun!
