Last weekend we had a great turnout for our Solebury 80s Reunion, organized by Nikki Drummond Leary '89 and Maxine Hankin Lebo '87. Folks make the trek from as far away as Delaware, upstate New York, and Manhattan. We hope to see everyone again in May during Reunion Weekend!
Remember to save the date for Reunion Weekend May 13-15, 2022.

Alumni Night at the Fall Production of Harvey Saturday, November 6 from 6-9:30 PM Solebury Theater Collective is excited to present its fall production of Harvey by Mary Chase. This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is the story of Elwood P. Dowd, a polite and friendly man with a very strange best friend—a six-foot invisible rabbit named Harvey. Elwood’s sister Veta is concerned the rabbit will interfere with her life as a socialite, so she tries to have Elwood committed. The debacle that ensues has everyone questioning just what exactly is real in this heartwarming and hilarious adventure.
You are invited to an alumni reception at 6 pm on campus, followed by the performance at 7 pm in the Barn Theater. Show tickets are $13 and should be paid in cash on the night of the event. Email Jessica Harms, Alumni Relations Manager, to reserve your spot. RSVPs should be sent by October 29.
