Play description: "We remember Jimmy Stewart as a man who has a rabbit for a friend. When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Vera, has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. Vera decides that it’s off to the funny farm for Elwood to spare them all future embarrassment, but Vera gets confused as the loony one and is committed instead of Elwood. As the doctors themselves come under Harvey’s spell, we see that this comedy is really about reality and who gets to define it."
- Christmas Craft Faire
Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m.-Noon, at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church in Rohnert Park.
The church is having its annual craft faire with baked goods and white elephant for sale. There will be a raffle for gift baskets and handmade quilts.
- Cinnabar Theater
Play description: Set in New York City in 1944, it's a time of innocence, uncertainty, humor and optimism - but the stresses of war are affecting soldiers and civilians alike.
