It’s 1972, and a group of five undergraduate men meet every Tuesday and Thursday night at a greenhouse on the campus of William & Mary. They gather together in this queer safe space that seems to have been a haven for the university's gay men for many years. The threat of a new club on campus has the men worried as they come to terms with what they mean to each other and how much they need the greenhouse.

With a focus on student-led theatre, Harvey served on the board of the Covenant Players and was an active part of Sinfonicron Light Opera Company. Under the direction of Dr. Louis E. Catron, Harvey directed and produced the 1999 W&M Premiere Theatre event, an annual series featuring student-written original works.

Harvey and his Jamestown students are four-time winners of the “Best Original Play” award from the Virginia Theatre Association.
