Wednesday Breakfast: Dean Drieberg – Hamilton, NIDA & the Masks of Creative Chaos

Arts, Comedy, LGBTQIA+, Literature, Performing Arts

Director and creative powerhouse Dean Drieberg joins JOY Breakfast to talk about his journey from Hamilton’s resident director to guiding the next generation of talent at NIDA. Currently helming the visually rich and emotionally layered musical Nine, Dean shares what it’s like to direct a production that mirrors the messy, beautiful chaos of the artistic mind.

We chat about storytelling styles, creative pressure, using live cameras on stage, and how Dean champions cultural and body diversity in everything he does. If you’ve ever wrestled with creative block, artistic obsession, or just wanted to peek behind the curtain of a major musical — this is your moment.
