Summer Theatre Festival: HERStory of Animation: A Musical Celebration

Inspired by Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney’s Animation
Directed by Regina Schlaff

From the earliest days of cinema to today’s digital animation boom, women have been the magic behind the movies—and this lively, inspiring presentation celebrates their stories with history, heart, and song!

Discover trailblazers like Mary Weiser, the visionary paint pioneer at Disney whose all-female lab revolutionized color from the 80 hues of Flowers and Trees to more than 1,500 shades for The Old Mill and the dazzling palette of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Inspired by animation historian Mindy Johnson’s book Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney’s Animation, the show spotlights pioneers like Helena Smith Dayton while tracing women’s lasting impact on film history—including the legacy of Walt Disney’s studio artists. Presented in conjunction with the Muskegon Museum of Art’s HERStory of Animation, the program features inspirational music from animated films and more, creating an uplifting, toe-tapping celebration of the women who colored animation history.
