Morse to Head Cast in ‘Harvey’ Benefit

Tony and Emmy winner Robert Morse (“Tru,” “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”) is slated to head the cast in a concert reading of Mary Chase’s classic, Pulitzer Prize-winning fantasy-comedy “Harvey,” as a fund-raiser for Theatre 40 on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.

Morse will play the eccentric Elwood P. Dowd, whose family tries to commit him to a sanitarium because he claims that his best friend is an invisible, 6-foot-plus-tall white rabbit. Theatre 40 members will complete the cast.

A dessert reception will follow the performance. Tickets are $50 and 80% tax-deductible; Theatre 40 is on the Beverly Hills High School campus at 241 Moreno Drive. Free parking; disabled access. Information: (323) 660-8587.
