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:

In The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson’s world changes instantly when a school field trip reveals that Greek mythology is real and that he is the son of Poseidon. Sent to Camp Half-Blood, he meets Grover, a satyr tasked with protecting him, and Annabeth Chase, the quick-thinking daughter of Athena. 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.

 

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.
