About
Hi! I’m Matt Dorado, a writer, director, and producer of immersive theatre and experiential entertainment.
Prior to the pandemic, you may have known me as the creator of DRUNKEN DEVIL, a theatrical party series that mixed original, character-driven storytelling with large-scale spectacle and nightlife elements.
I also created TO LIVE AND DI(N)E IN L.A., an interactive, true-crime inspired supper club where guests were whisked away on a journey through the city’s sordid history via a four-course meal, cocktail pairings, and theatrical performances… all while seated next to the ghosts of infamous L.A. killers and their victims. The show sold out each of its seatings over its two-year run.
Most recently, I created MONSTER PARTY, an open world, immersive play-within-a-party set against the backdrop of McCarthyism and the Lavender Scare.
In addition to my own personal projects, I’ve also worked as an experience creator and producer for a number of organizations and brands, including Cirque du Soleil, LA Opera, Apothic Wine, El Silencio Mezcal, Diplomatico Rum, and more.
Outside of my work in immersive theatre, I am a visual effects and virtual production producer. I worked for several years in the virtual production department at Industrial Light & Magic, and have worked with clients like Netflix, Lucasfilm, Disney Television, Lexus, Universal Entertainment, and MSG/Sphere. Creating magic on screen is just as fulfilling as creating magic IRL, and I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to blend immersive theatre with technology and spectacle.
I live in East Hollywood with my two cats, Jezebel and Aleister Meowley. They’re the best.
