Biographical Note

Graham Whitehead, artistic director, university professor, actor, stage director, dramaturge, theatre consultant, and playwright, was born in Egypt, raised in England, lived in Canada for almost thirty years, and became a permanent resident in the United States in 1992.

He received a BA from Cambridge University in the UK in 1963; a MA in English from the University of New Brunswick in 1965, where he directed his first play, The Bald Soprano; and a PhD from the University of Toronto in 1970. His dissertation was titled "The Craftsmanship of Sean O'Casey."

Whitehead was an Assistant Professor at Dalhousie University from 1972 to 1976. He served as Drama Consultant to the Government of Nova Scotia from 1975 to 1979 and as the East Coast (Canada) correspondent for Variety in 1981. He regularly acted, developed scripts, and directed for radio, television, film and the theatre.

From 1982 to 1991 Whitehead was Artistic Director of The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia, a professional puppet, mask, and theatre touring company for young audiences. During his tenure at this theatre, he wrote, adapted, and directed plays and helped it become one of the most respected theatres for young people in North America. Whitehead took part in an artistic director exchange between Canada and Belgium/Holland in 1989. The company toured productions to Japan, Australia, and Mexico. Two plays adapted and directed by Whitehead -- Just So Stories in 1986 and Peter and the Wolf in 1989 -- received Citations of Excellence in the Art of Puppetry from UNIMA-USA, the American Center of the Union Internationale de la Marionnette.

In 1989 Whitehead received funding from Canada's Department of External Affairs for a speaking tour to Mexico. In 1990 he received a grant from the Canada Council for a study tour to Japan. From 1991 to 1992 Whitehead was Artistic Director for the Magical Theater Company of Barberton, Ohio.

Whitehead was hired at Arizona State University (ASU) as an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre from 1992 to 1994. He taught classes, directed plays and joint musical productions with the Department of Music, and adapted a play with Barbara Acker titled Dokter in Spite uv Hisself. In 1993-1994 he received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for a Professional Theatre Training Project.

Whitehead was employed full-time by Childsplay, a professional theatre for young audiences in Tempe, Arizona, in the following positions: Artistic Associate, 1998 to 2000; Associate Artistic Director/New Plays, 2000 to 2003; and National Theatre Artist in Residence, 1997 to 2000, a position funded by the Theatre Communications Group (TCG). While at Childsplay, Whitehead developed new plays and served as dramaturge, director, and actor for numerous productions. After 2003, he continued to work for Childsplay on various artistic projects.

During his entire career Whitehead worked as a freelance artist with companies such as the Arizona Jewish Theater Company, Phoenix Theater, Scottsdale Community College, Paradise Valley Community College, Arizona State University's Lyric Opera Theatre, California Theater Center, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the Dallas Children's Theater. He also directed tour performances throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, Australia, Japan, and Europe. Among his best-known freelance projects are:

Playwright, director, performer for the Manitoba Theatre for Young People's production of Comet in Moominland, based on the book by Tove Jansson. This award-winning presentation toured extensively between 1990 and 1995 and was invited to perform at the New Victory Theatre in New York City in September and October 2004;
Adaptor and director for The Nutcracker, a cooperative effort with Symphony Nova Scotia, Halifax Dance, and Mermaid Theatre in December 1991;
