Although he was born in Dalmatia, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Line Mountain High School, Aaron White now calls Williamsport home.

The multi- talented performer has designed sets, directed, choreographed and performed for many professional and community theatre groups in recent years.

The 38-year-old White, who teaches theater at Susquehanna University, recently signed a one-year contract, making him a candidate for full membership with the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble.

White is also a member of the cast of BTE’s “Airness,” the hold-over attraction from last year’s season, to be staged at the Alvina Krause Theatre in downtown Bloomsburg.

As part of BTE’s 42nd season, “Airness,” billed as a “face-melting rock comedy,” features White cast in this concert-like play about the “wacky world of competitive air guitar.”

“It’s a hilarious and touching show that uses the exuberant sport of air guitar as a backdrop to explore how fantasy can be used to process tough realities,” White said. “It’s a rock show. It’s a comedy show. It’s a gritty celebration of what it is to be an imaginary rock God and a real striving human.”

The local performer readily acknowledges his other associations with the acclaimed professional theatre ensemble, having designed sets and performed for BTE since 2012.

Having directed “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged),” White also designed the rich looking set for BTE’s 2019 holiday show “Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley.”

Millbrook Playhouse planned on opening its 2020 season with White joining his wife Nina in the Cabaret’s “Same Time, Next Year.”

Although the pandemic shut down all of Millbrook’s Cabaret and Main Stage productions, “David (Leidholdt) had given us the opportunity to perform together for the first time since we met nearly nine years ago — playing ‘In The Next Room’ at BTE of all places,” White said.
