DISNEY ON ICE

(Well, sort of...)

Fresh off the heels of Disney’s 100th anniversary we're teaming up with Soulpepper to ‘reanimate the Head of Disney’. A true joyride of a play, A Public Reading of An Unproduced Screenplay about the Death of Walt Disney is by Obie Award-winning dramatist Lucas Hnath (Dana H., A Doll’s House Part 2), one of the funniest and most formally daring playwrights of our moment. The production stars Canadian theatre titan Diego Matamoros as Walt like you’ve never seen him before, and is directed by OtM Artistic Director Mitchell Cushman.

“The play riffs off the tantalizing urban legend that Walt Disney had his head cryonically frozen. It’s ultimately about fear of mortality, I’d say, and those ultra-wealthy among us who, when faced with the finitude of life, would rather dive deep into cryonics, or blast off into space, than pay any of it forward.

"We’re describing the production as a ‘fantasia for the Age of Succession’, and it’s very much cut from the same cloth as that HBO show—hilarious, scathingly dark, and un-look-away-able from.”

—OtM Artistic Director Mitchell Cushman
A 70-minute, intricately orchestrated merry-go-round written in a style akin to a “hypercaffeinated David Mamet” (The New York Times) that toys with such far-fetched concepts as:

☞ What if a powerful billionaire pursued his own immortality at the expense of the world around him?
☞  What if Elon Musk could doodle?
☞  What if a melting world is no place to keep a frozen head from thawing?

INTRODUCING...
OUR NEW STRATEGIC PLAN

A Public Reading of An Unproduced Screenplay about the Death of Walt Disney anchors an ambitious 2024 slate of activities for us, which was recently kickstarted by a five-city tour of our long-running hit Lessons in Temperament, and the public release of the company’s new five-year strategic plan. (Additional artistic programming plans for the year will be announced over the coming months...

“This is a watershed moment for our company,” says Managing Producer Katherine Devlin Rosenfeld. “Our new strategic plan takes a responsive, values-based approach to planning grounded in our newly-articulated core values. Our last strategic plan propelled our company through significant growth, a pandemic, and some of our most impactful immersive experiences. We believe this plan will be just as transformative.”
