Box Out Bullying
Jeremy founded Box Out Productions, LLC after elementary educators asked him to do something about their issues with bullying. In suburban private schools to public urban schools, Jeremy found a common theme. Students lacked empathy, there was an accepted culture of bullying, and the students felt powerless or didn't want to be a 'tattle-tale.' So, using audience participants, improvisational comedy, and help from a specially-constructed box, Box Out Bullying made its debut in November of 2008. Since then, Box Out Bullying has performed for elementary and middle school audiences around the country.
He also holds a Certificate in Arts Education from Long Island University, NY and has studied under famed mime and eccentric performer Avner Eisenberg, earning a Certificate in Eccentric Performance from The Celebration Barn, ME.
Jeremy Rubenstein is a leading expert in using interactive theater to educate and empower students, faculty, and parents concerning bullying prevention. He combines his background in journalism, theater arts, and education to write, direct, and produce Box Out Bullying, a national touring, interactive theatrical program. Jeremy graduated from The Pennsylvania State University-University Park with degrees in Journalism, Theater, and History.
