About
I’m Declan Meagher, a Creative Director and Playwright with over a decade of experience shaping immersive, site-specific, musical entertainment for Disney, Sesame Workshop, and other major brands. I bridge storytelling with technical craft and innovative performance techniques to create interactive performances and guest experiences that feel seamless and magical.
I excel at cross-disciplinary collaboration, talent development, IP stewardship, and scalable script writing. Based in Toronto and open to relocation, I partner with playwrights, producers, and design teams to refine scripts, build engaging experiences, and lead production operations from concept to stage.
With a practical and educational background in musical theater and improv comedy, I center my experience on intriguing the audience through the uniqueness of theatre, delighting them in the quirks of the genre, and thrilling them in the wonder and heart of the spectacle.
**I am based in Canada but am authorized to work in both the U.S. and Canada.
