Pippa White
Pippa White calls her One's Company Productions "part theatre, part storytelling, part history." Her performance pieces are many and varied, ranging from The Story of the Orphan Train to Voices from Ellis Island, 72 Years to Women's Suffrage, Voices from the Resistance, Memories of the Titanic, and more. She even has a charming musical, I Can't Give You Anything But Songs. Into Possession of Myself chronicles the lives of Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton and Dorothea Dix, and has been featured at many nurse conferences. To date she has crisscrossed the country many times, touring to thirty-five states, performing at universities, theatres, museums, schools, libraries and festivals, including the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, and the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in Utah. Pippa has performed five times at the United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City, garnering a review that called her work "riveting, heartbreaking, and suspenseful." She was raised on the West Coast, spent many years in the Midwest, and now lives in Rochester, New York.

Testimonials
"Pippa's presentation was unbelievable! I looked around at the students and I have never seen them so engrossed in a presentation. They had wonderful questions and we even had to cut them off because of time. We couldn't have been happier with Pippa."
Cathy Hare, Admin. Asst. Pembroke Hill School, Kansas City MO
"Our audience was awestruck with her unique storytelling skills and her ability to engage you in a moment of history. 'Captivating, Enlightening, Educational,' left you wanting more,' were just a few of the comments made by those who attended."
