An unexpected bond connects two strangers who meet on a bridge and have more in common than they could have imagined. And while this poetic play looks at grief and loss from many vantage points, JUMP is also a hopeful, breathtaking, and even whimsical exploration into the buoyancy of hope and the power of human connection – sister to sister, parent to child, stranger to stranger. From an exciting new voice in American theatre comes this magical story about the process of letting go.

In this suspenseful drama we meet Ivy League writing professor Bella Lee Baird and her talented yet mysterious student, Christopher Dunn.

HARVEY, a well-known classic in American theatre, is a charming comedy about the friendship between Elwood P. Dowd and his best friend Harvey the Pooka – an invisible, six-foot-tall rabbit! When his sister Veta finds his behavior no longer socially acceptable, she tries to place him into a mental institution, only to have a comedy of errors ensue.
Elwood’s easygoing nature and kind heart quickly draws everyone into his whimsical world of warmth and joy. Through Elwood and his pal Harvey, we see the true meaning of loyalty and friendship. Get ready to experience a world of imagination with a dose of nostalgia in this family-friendly, Pulitzer Prize-winning gem that is one funny bunny of a tale (tail?)!
