Although it is housed in the same complex as Walt Disney Concert Hall,
the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater has its own unique mandate: to provide a Los Angeles home for new, cutting-edge performance and art—a laboratory where artists can push boundaries, experiment with forms, and blend disciplines, cultures and ideas.
REDCAT was not part of the original plan when construction began on Walt Disney Concert Hall in 1992. As the project unfolded, Roy E. Disney, vice chairman of The Walt Disney Company and nephew of Walt and Patty Disney, saw an opportunity for a CalArts presence within the complex. For more than three decades, Roy has been one of the most steadfast supporters of CalArts, continuing the good work of his father, Roy O. Disney, who had been Walt's partner in building The Walt Disney Company, and who, after Walt's death in 1966, had overseen the construction of CalArts' Valencia campus.
