[2] White has directed primarily new and contemporary American plays in New York, Kentucky, Virginia and South Carolina.
In 2002, her world premiere production of Sheri Wilner's Bake-Off was described by Bruce Weber, theatre critic for The New York Times, as "the clear apex of this year's...Humana Festival of New American Plays..."[3] In 2005, Rich Copley of the Lexington Herald-Leader wrote, "Last night's world premier of celebrated Kentucky author Silas House's debut as a playwright was an unqualified theatrical event.
The play was worth the fanfare, both in terms of the script and the production it was given by the University of Kentucky and director Sullivan Canaday White."
In 2016, Project SEE became the first professional resident theatre at Transylvania University with White's second production of No Spring Chicken.
