In this episode of “The Art Of…”, we step into the vivid, multi-sensory world of Daunielle Rasmussen — creator, producer, and founder of MerryBand Entertainment. Daunielle leads us behind the scenes of immersive theater, sharing how she blends storytelling, logistics, and creative strategy to bring productions like The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to life. From load-ins and venue mapping to working with historical institutions like the Taft Museum of Art, Daunielle explores how to scale intimate, interactive experiences across cities while staying grounded in community collaboration. She opens up about the emotional demands of immersive theater, the beauty of method acting, and the importance of self-care in the creative process. Through bold experimentation, color-coded planning, and a passion for making art accessible, Daunielle redefines what theater can be — playful, powerful, and deeply human.
