White Box Theatre/Sebastienne Mundheim

White Box Theatre/Sebastienne Mundheim is known for synthesizing complex, sophisticated academic content into lyrical performances geared to young audiences and appealing to all ages. Her performances use sculptural props, shadow puppets, dancers, actors and music to ask questions and teach lessons. “Full of charm… information and ideas. It is a pleasure to see so much imagination.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

Touring repertoire includes Currently Franklin: The Story of a Paper Boy, a poetic, insightful story about a founding father and American values; A Potable Joyce: A Watered Down Version of Ulysses, the story of James Joyce and his manuscript; and Sea of Birds, a visual poem about migration and World War II. Complementary activities include workshops on story building; “Discovering Metaphor” in movement, sculpture, sounds and words; and “Performance as Pedagogy.”
