Ink & Paint: A New Musical

Inspired by real events, Ink & Paint follows five women artists at Walt Disney Studios in the 1930s and beyond, whose ranks included first- and second-generation immigrants, a single mother and architect, a record-breaking pilot, a concept artist, and Disney’s first credited woman animator. They tell the true story of the company’s first all-women story unit in a madcap mashup of mid-century American history, the golden age of hand-drawn animation, and the wild, wisecracking women who fought tooth, nail, and paintbrush for their place in it.

A short version of Ink & Paint premiered Off-Broadway as part of Emerging Artist Theatre’s 2023 New Work Series, which was a Time Out New York Critics’ Pick. The full-length musical was a semi-finalist for the 2023 Live & In Color Musical Incubator and Wild Imaginings’ 2024 Epiphanies Festival. The piece will also be featured in the 2024 SheLA Festival.

It’s a win-win-win 4th of July weekend evening of theatre -– an amazing, and important, evening of theatre, a lovely wine-and-nibbles post-show reception with the cast, and support of the Playhouse Benefit Campaign!
