The Harrison Players Present: "50 Years, and We're Still Here: The Harrison Players' Follies"
Normally,
reaching 50 is somewhat of an average event, but for a community theater group,
it is a major accomplishment, and one of which the Harrison
Players is extremely proud!
The
Harrison Players, Inc. was founded in 1963 as a non-profit group, and has
produced many shows including numerous big musicals, dramas and comedies such
as “Fiddler,” “The Music Man,” and “Plaza Suite,” as well as mysteries,
children’s shows and musical revues.
In
addition to performing in the Harrison schools, our members have performed at
Westchester Broadway Theatre, The Capitol Theatre, The Emelin and The Osborn.

Putting
the community in community theater,
the group firmly believes in giving to the community by also remaining very
active in civic events. Members have performed
for the sick and the elderly, created Haunted Parks and sponsored scholarships
as well as providing themed dinners with entertainment and hosting Open Mic
Nights.
Through
the years, the group’s continued prosperity has been largely due to the commitment
and talent of many volunteers from around the area. The Harrison Players are affiliated with Arts
Westchester, The Harrison Council for the Arts, and The Harrison Recreation
Department.
