My name is Scott but my friends call me Scott. I'm known for my quick sense of humor, collaborative personality, strong work ethic, attention to detail, and my ability to think outside the box. (What box?)From my time as a child touring with my family's concert act, I have dedicated my life to entertaining and impacting audiences emotionally. With now 30+ years of industry experience, I have been fortunate to collect a wide range of skills that have served me well in creating and developing concepts for both film and stage. For 22 years I had the outstanding experience of working with Disney Parks and Resorts and Walt Disney Imagineering, collaborating on projects on stage and TV as a Puppet Master, Show Director, Creative Associate, Writer, and Lyricist. I have been on the opening team of three Disney Theme Parks, most recently Shanghai Disneyland where I led the creation and development of their puppetry program spanning 9 shows and a parade. I developed and creatively led a team of Show Quality Specialists in Disneyland, CA. I also had the amazing opportunity to work with Walt Disney Imagineering as a Creative Associate, Writer, Concept Developer and Show Director. You might say I've had a front row seat in "magic making".As a performer I have worked professionally as an actor, singer/songwriter, puppeteer, improv comedian, and juggler/clown/mime (believe it or not). My rare combination of entertainment and life experiences gives me unique perspective as a collaborator on projects for diverse audiences, worldwide. I'm a multi-tasker who loves to push myself creatively. I have a real passion for collaboration and love every aspect of the creative process from concept development through production. I also have a unique interest in the psychology of people which keeps me always asking the questions, "How do we want the audience to feel?” and “How else can we have an impact?" I have a love for immersive storytelling and am a firm believer in “Don’t tell me. Show me".I am always open for a creative dialogue or brainstorm session, so please feel free to reach out and connect!

Touring show, “The Pout-Pout Fish”at The Orlando REP and throughout the US.
Scott Silson is the creator of "The Everglads", a 30-minute musical featuring table-top puppetry with all original music, lyrics, and scripting. Inspired by Grand Ole Opry stars "The Louvin Brothers", the show centers around the famous music duo "The Everglads" comprised of two unlikely brothers - an Alligator & a Crocodile who perform cheerful bluegrass music. When one desires creative growth, the other's resistance to change causes a rift between the brothers, sending them their separate ways. Will their individual journeys bring them closer together in harmony? Or will The Everglads stay ever MAD for good?With the concept of "harmony" being the central theme, audiences of all ages will surprisingly receive valuable wisdom through the country & bluegrass music performed by characters made from fleece and foam. A delight for children and adults alike, this show promises to bring the best entertainment this side of the Everglades! The Everglads!Director's Note: "Growing up in my family's traveling concert act, we met Charlie Louvin at his bluegrass festival, "May on the Mountain" and got to know and adore him as a surrogate grandfather type. His music with his brother inspired much of the harmonies we arranged as kids, and his kindness will always be remembered. I hope this subtle tribute to him and his brother is making them smile from whatever country cloud they're sitting upon, now."
