That was in 1945 when times were simpler and entertainment had little competition. The current American Fork Arts Council production of the same comedy about the invisible white rabbit of the same name has the same appeal. It focuses on a character, Elwood P. Dowd, and the individuals in his life. His friend, Harvey, is an invisible white rabbit in whom he sees the kindness and compassion often lacking in others. By Russ Daly Since everyone has his or her own favorite fairy tale, a musical theater production at Utah Valley State College is sure to fit everyone's tastes. "Into the Woods" is a delightful potpourri of favorite tales, including Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In this show, however, author James Lapine has interwoven the characters from the individual stories into one plot with many twists along the way. The UVSC production is fairly well done, although the pace was slower than other productions I've seen. The slower tempo, however, may actually prove to be beneficial for those who have never seen the play before. Several local actors are involved in the play, which Volunteer Auxiliary members at the American Fork Hospital will hold their annual fund raising bazaar on Friday, Nov. 7, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Education Center.

Add to that the recent change from daylight time, you get an audience which was mostly asleep by the closing scene. That's in spite of excellent acting from the cast members. T. J. Brewster is totally believable as the unassuming Dowd. He makes the character interact with the others, visible or not, with the necessary warmth to work.
