Act III: Welcoming “Harvey” Back to the Stage

In October, the Theatre Department presented “Harvey,” the story of an eccentric man whose best friend is an invisible (and exceptionally tall) rabbit named Harvey. The play was directed by Theatre and Acting Teacher Craig Smith and featured a cast and crew of talented Spartans.

This was the third time Steward put together this beloved play. The first was in 1991 and the second was in 2004. Kara Johnson ’06, who acted in the 2004 production, took part in a walk-on scene in the most recent production, which took place in the Paul R. Cramer Center for the Arts; Liz Franklin ’06, who also acted in the 2004 production, visited this year’s cast and crew backstage. (The opening night for the 2022 “Harvey” show was also the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Cramer Center!)

Dinner And A Show

“Harvey” was made extra special with Dinner and a Show, a favorite School tradition that was paused during the pandemic. On opening night, theatre-goers gathered on campus for a casual dinner before heading to the Theatre. ArtLink, a dedicated group of parent volunteers, arranged Dinner and a Show; they also sold flowers during intermission. Thank you to ArtLink President Anne Williford (mother of Chip ’23) and all the volunteers whose enthusiasm could never be upstaged!
