Directs bold, culture-rooted stories across theater, spectacle, and screen.

Victor Malana Maog tells ambitious, emotionally charged stories rooted in culture, scale, and spectacle. He has directed and developed work with The Public Theater, Folger Theatre, Signature Theatre, Williamstown Theatre Festival, National Black Theatre, American Conservatory Theater, Hartford Stage, Magic Theatre, and TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. As Show Director for Disney Parks Live Entertainment, he created original IP and large-scale productions for millions of visitors worldwide—including Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off and Festival of Holidays.

His direction of West Side Story at Marriott Theatre helped anchor the Jeff Award–winning revival, and his immersive A Midsummer Night’s Dream transformed the National Building Museum into a full-scale Elizabethan playhouse. He directed the Folger Shakespeare Library’s gala showcasing its $80M renovation, featuring John Douglas Thompson and U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove.

Victor’s signature play, tot: THE UNTOLD, YET SPECTACULAR STORY OF (a filipino) HULK HOGAN, was developed at The Ground Floor at Berkeley Rep and premiered at Theatre Mu. His multi-platform projects include Boop, Boop: Here We Go (Tiny_Scripted, featuring Akaash Singh), An Evening with Alan Menken featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda (Webby Honoree), and the seven-episode Play On Podcast Series of Othello—translated by Mfoniso Udofia, with sound design by Lindsay Jones and performances by Jeremy Tardy and Kayli Carter (Webby Award winner, Signal Award winner, Ambie-nominated).

His collaborators span Camille A. Brown, Susan Soon He Stanton, Otis Sallid, Adam Gwon, J.T. Rogers, and The 24 Hour Plays on Broadway with Bebe Neuwirth, David Cross, Anthony Edwards, Lauren Yee, and Douglas Lyons.

Victor is a Professor in the School of Film and Acting at SCAD and a longtime member of SDC. His stage work has reached over half of the continental U.S., his digital and audio projects have drawn national and international audiences, and his Disney creations have been seen by millions. He is currently developing new musicals, limited series, and hybrid theatrical works that merge cultural specificity with genre-rich storytelling—spanning screenplays, immersive experiences, and character-driven spectacles.
