In the room: Don Frantz, owner of Town Square Productions. An eight-year veteran of the Walt Disney Company where he was instrumental in creating Walt Disney Theatrical Productions and served as the associate producer of Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King and producer of the off-Broadway production of Disenchanted (which is currently on tour). Don's far-reaching career journey has led to directing and/or management roles at Universal Studios Hollywood and Busch Gardens/Tampa, Superbowl Half-Time Shows, Liberty Weekend, 1984 Louisiana World Exposition; plus stopovers at the Los Angeles’ Ensemble Studio Theater/LA and George Schaefer’s Musical Theater/LA at the Doolittle Theater, and independent productions. Not to mention setting a 3-time Guinness World's Record for the biggest maze in the world, a few stints on Broadway as a general manager and a side trip into Broadway China Ventures. Is there a central passion that drives him? What gives him the greatest sense of accomplishment? And what's next?
