EDMOND — 6 Friday

“Harvey” by Mary Chase will play at 8 p.m. Aug. 6-28 at the Pollard Theatre, 120 W. Harrison Ave. in Guthrie. Affable Elwood P. Dowd has a kind word for everyone he meets. He lives a quiet life with his social-climbing sister and her daughter, and is devoted to his loyal and trustworthy friend and constant companion, Harvey. The fact that Harvey happens to be a 6-foot tall invisible rabbit doesn't seem to bother Elwood but is an ongoing embarrassment to his family who decides to have him committed. In this Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, the medical establishment is turned topsy-turvy as Elwood and Harvey cause pandemonium. For specific showtimes and tickets, visit www.thepollard.org.

The film “The Desert of Forbidden Art” will play at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Aug. 6-7 and 2 p.m. Aug. 8 at the Okahoma City Museum of Art. During the Soviet rule, young Igor Savitsky daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artist’s works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Ben Kingsley, Sally Field and Ed Asner voice the diaries and letters of Savitsky and the artists.

Shortt Dogg will play blues and soul at 8 and 9:30 p.m. at the UCO Jazz Lab, 100 E. Fifth St. Tickets are $7, and food and beverages are available by Hideaway Pizza. For more information, visit www.ucojazzlab.com.
