Theater
Create. Perform. Inspire.
Each year, students have the opportunity to perform a play and musical in our black box theater. Some of our students have a passion for theater, while many just want to experience being on stage and part of a cast performing live for an audience. Every student who expresses a desire to be part of a Harvey production can do so.
In addition to classes in Acting and Playwriting in The Upper School curriculum, The Harvey Performing Arts after-school program presents five stage productions each academic year on the Lasdon Theater stage. Here are some of our recent dramatic and musical productions:
The Crucible - Winter 2025
The Crucible was reimagined on the Harvey stage, bringing it to life in a bold new way—set at a summer camp. This fresh take on the timeless tale captivated audiences, offering a unique perspective on the classic story. The production also connected directly to Harvey’s English curriculum, allowing students to deepen their understanding of the text through performance. Students were involved in every aspect, from acting to lighting, sound, and stage management. This immersive production showcased the creativity and collaboration that defines Harvey’s performing arts program, extending learning beyond the classroom.
Little Shop of Horrors - Fall 2024
More than just a performance, this production showcased the incredible talent and dedication of our students both on and off the stage. From acting and assistant choreography to lighting design, sound board operation, scenic and costume crews, stage management, and even program cover design—every aspect was brought to life by our students. At Harvey, we don’t just put on performances; we create opportunities for students to lead, collaborate, and shine.
