The Shadowbox Live Academy is dedicated to bringing the performing arts to high school students across Central Ohio.  And the popular new show, Evolutionaries, a rockumentary style tribute to Prince and David Bowie, provided another opportunity to do exactly that.

The Galleries of Shadowbox Live, curated by Amy Ivanoff, feature a mix of up-and-coming artists with more established ones, celebrating the creative talents our city has to offer.

Between shopping for presents, traffic, and visits from out of town family, the Holidays are enough to stress anyone out.  Luckily, Shadowbox Live has the perfect afternoon get away that will keep you in that Holiday spirit - The Holiday Lunchbox!

 The Shadowbox Galleries have become a beloved addition to the experience at Shadowbox Live.  The beautiful and eclectic artwork that lines the hallways leading to the theater often reflects or hints at the themes of the performance that evening.  And under Curator Amy Ivanhoff's direction, new artists are being added on a regular basis.

Shadowbox Live has long been committed to support art and artists within their community.  The Shadowbox Galleries, which started as a way to showcase one artist at a time, has become an integral part of that mission.  Since bringing on a Curator, Amy Ivanhoff, the project has grown even more.  The Galleries are currently showing the work of six artists, with several more coming up soon.

Since moving into their permanent home on 503 S. Front Street five years ago, Shadowbox Live has been featuring the work of local artists on the walls of the Backstage Bistro and aptly named 'Gallery Hallway.'  What started as an experiment has grown into an integral part of the experience, and Shadowbox Live is now bringing on a Curator for the Shadowbox Galleries, Amy Ivanhoff!

Greed, power, betrayal, and the American Dream.  The themes of The Great Gatsby are timeless, transcending the Roaring 20's era where the classic story takes place.  And now you can experience the tragic tale like never before - with a Shadowbox twist.  Shadowbox Live is presenting their newest dance theater production, Broken Whispers, opening August 18th at 503 S. Front Street.
