Victor Malana Maog directs high-stakes storytelling and builds the systems that deliver it. He partners with evolving non-profits during pivotal transitions and with commercial producers scaling culture-rooted work for wide audiences. A recurring throughline in his work is the question of home, who gets to claim it, how it is lost, rebuilt, and passed on.
 
Selected partners include The Public Theater, Folger Theatre, Signature Theatre Company, Williamstown Theatre Festival, National Black Theatre, American Conservatory Theater, and Hartford Stage, among others. His stage work is character-forward and kinetic, designed to hold intimacy and spectacle at the same time, and to meet audiences where they are without lowering the artistic bar. Recent credits include West Side Story (Marriott Theatre) and Folger Theatre’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream staged at the National Building Museum.
 
From 2016–2018, Maog served as a Show Director for Disney Parks Live Entertainment, leading large-scale live experiences in multi-stakeholder environments where safety, schedule, brand stewardship, and repeatable excellence are non-negotiable. Credits include Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off and Festival of Holidays.
 
He also directs public-facing institutional moments where mission, artistry, and reputation converge. He directed the Folger Shakespeare Library’s gala connected to the reopening of its renovated campus, featuring artists including John Douglas Thompson and U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove.

Maog’s signature play, tot: THE UNTOLD, YET SPECTACULAR STORY OF (a filipino) HULK HOGAN, was developed at Berkeley Rep’s The Ground Floor and premiered at Theatre Mu. His multi-platform work includes An Evening with Alan Menken featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda (The Walt Disney Family Museum) and Play On Podcasts’ Othello, translated by Mfoniso Udofia with sound design by Lindsay Jones (Webby Award–winning).

Victor is a Professor in the School of Film and Acting at SCAD and a longtime member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society (SDC). Across mediums, he builds work that carries cultural memory, expands audience imagination, and delivers with discipline.
