Susana Tubert was trained in New York theater but traded Manhattan for Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A., where even the fireworks are characters.
to create an attraction that steers clear of racial stereotypes . And she’s helped the Disney parks more authentically recognize the spirit of cultural traditions such as Lunar New Year. It was Tubert, for instance, who during the parks’ Día de Los Muertos celebrations created a “memory wall,” asking all Disneyland guests to write a letter to a departed loved one.
Tubert was far from a theme park regular when she made the transition from New York to Anaheim, a decision fueled partly by the financial realities of running the TeatroStageFest and its 2013 closure. But she started with what she knew, and quickly learned that theme parks are theater on a broad scale. One of Tubert’s initial projects at the parks was California Adventure’s Disney ¡Viva Navidad!, which she launched in her first year in 2013 and has now become a holiday staple.
Such early experiences have served her well at Disney. “Tale of the Lion King,” which currently runs in Fantasyland, was initially envisioned as a tie-in for the 2019 Jon Favreau-directed remake, which emphasized realism in its portrayal of the animals. The recipient a Theater Communications Group/National Endowment for the Arts Directing fellowship in 1992, Tubert soon found herself assisting directors such as Prince and Peter Sellars. Her directing prowess eventually landed her that dream Broadway gig. It wasn’t meant to be. Tubert became the first of four credited directors on Paul Simon’s “The Capeman.
