As a child growing up in Duxbury, Mickey White dreamed of performing on Broadway. For his eighth birthday, he asked for his own stage in his basement, where he not only performed but created sets, costumes, lighting and sound to produce a full-scale show.

“I really loved putting all the pieces together and making it all happen,” says White.

In high school, he played the pivotal role of the Phantom in “Phantom of the Opera,” which he cherishes as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”—because, outside of Broadway productions, the legendary show can only be licensed to high school theater programs. He went on to Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where he earned a degree in musical theater. Following college, he played the role of Sketch in the national tour of the Broadway musical “Hairspray” and performed the characters of Prince Hans (“Frozen”), Bert (“Mary Poppins”) and Lago (“Aladdin”) for Disney Cruise Line. Along the way, he realized his love and talent for producing. “I found out I liked working behind the scenes more than performing on stage,” says White. “Having been a performer, I understand everything that goes into a show.”

Thus far, he’s earned production credits for an impressive lineup of Broadway and off-Broadway runs, including “Good Night and Good Luck,” starring George Clooney (associate producer); “The Roommate,” starring Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone (associate producer); “John Proctor is the Villain,” starring Sadie Sink (associate producer); “Nicole Travolta is Doing Alright” (producer); and, up next on Broadway, “The Lost Boys” (coproducer). He also recently co-produced the play “Clarkston,” a modern frontier story, at Trafalgar Theater in London’s West End.

But White is not limiting himself to the West End or the Great White Way. Since 2020, he’s been expanding his reach to the South Shore, producing showstoppers that have led to the creation of Harbour Lights Theatre. With Harbour Lights Theatre, he intends to stage professional, Broadway-quality productions right here on the South Shore.
