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:

Before long, Percy is accused of stealing Zeus’s Master Bolt, sparking a quest to clear his name and rescue his mother from the Underworld.

Harvey’s production delivered humor, adventure, and heart, with clever fourth-wall moments, nods to school traditions, and standout performances that showcased the creativity and dedication of the performing arts students.
