We Are
Shadowbox Live
Shadowbox Live is the nation's
largest resident theatre ensemble.
Established as an artist-operated company in Columbus, Ohio in 1988, Shadowbox Live (SBX) produces critically acclaimed, original works that move audiences beyond presentation into a shared expression.
Some call it
genre-shifting cabaret.
Others call it
mixed arts.
In every Shadowbox Live show, comedy, music, dance and drama are elevated into devised shows from the SBX ensemble and paired with intimate dining experiences to create unforgettable, artful experiences.
WE CALL IT SBX LIVE,
OUR BREED OF ENTERTAINMENT.
Art born from inclusion.
At Shadowbox Live we envision a world made more courageously humane through the power of art.
