Mandisa Haarhoff
Board Member, Volunteer
Mandisa Haarhoff is a South Africa born Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at Penn State. Along with my academic training, I am a playwright, choreographer, and actor. I have toured my award-winning one-person show, “Crush-hopper,” across South Africa and the United States, and I’m currently working on a new play that will debut at the Omnye Nomnye Theatre Festival in 2025. I enjoy hosting curated open mic’s. During my time in Gainesville, Florida, I successfully hosted Mandisa Mondays at The Bull and the Borrowed Mic at Third House Bookstore. Offering my energy to sustainable life-giving community centered spaces like The Print Factory is an expression of purpose that gives meaning to why I show up in the classroom. I also enjoy tending to my younger self through writing children’s stories.
