White Heron Theatre Company

White Heron Theatre Company Professional Theatre Company The essence of our work explores basic human truths in classical and contemporary text. The experience, then, is universal.

The White Heron Theatre Company produces transformative, professional productions of classical and contemporary plays and creates innovative educational experiences based on that work. Through our unique process of collaboration and building a tight professional, acting ensemble, we produce theatrical work that engages the audience in a transformative experience. We invite the audience to live inside the play and engage in a truthful and compelling journey that touches the human experience through art. With this tight ensemble of professional actors, we explore the text and create deeply specific and beautifully drawn characters and a very vivid, enveloping world of the play that allows the audience to live through the actors on stage. The audience becomes more than just a witness to the action of the play but rather an emotional participant in the drama, fully engaged in the journey of the theatrical story. It crosses all divides—social, economic, and cultural. Our educational outreach programs provide a foundation for developing life skills discovered though this theatrical process.

Ever wonder what might happen if you stop waiting for permission and start believing in yourself? Just ask Barbra Streisand. At 21, Babs spent her evenings singing in hot cabaret clubs dressed up in funky thrift store finds. At 21, acclaimed performer Jenna Pastuszek spent her evenings serving mini hot dogs at bar mitzvahs sporting a patterned bow tie. Until she met Barbra, and everything changed. Learn how Barbra’s self-confidence, power, and unique panache inspired a young performer to get out of her own way and embrace her own kooky self, weird last name and all. Featuring a dash of Borscht belt comedy and Barbra’s early hits like “Happy Days Are Here Again,” “Miss Marmelstein,” “Bewitched,” “Don’t Rain on My Parade” and more.
