David Galpern is a producer, founder, and creative strategist who has spent more than two decades exploring how stories can move people – emotionally, culturally, and at scale.

His work spans theatre, live events, and experiential installations. He co-founded the Classical Theatre Project, which became one of North America’s leading producers of live performance for teen audiences, reaching more than a million students across 90 cities. He has produced large-scale musicals, original productions, international tours, and acclaimed revivals including CATS, Grease, and Hair. He also founded the Toronto Youth Theatre, a registered charity that gives young artists the chance to train and perform in a professional environment.

He is the Co-Founder of Impossible Creative, a studio rethinking how experiential IP is created, financed, and distributed – merging narrative and technology to bring audiences inside the story. Impossible’s work includes a breakout immersive installation for the UN COP16 Climate Change Conference in Riyadh, along with several large-scale collaborations in development with leading artists and global institutions – including Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter and Questlove’s, and an initiative with the Vatican Museums.

Alongside producing, David has worked for more than 20 years as a voice performer, voicing national and international campaigns for brands including Acura, Air Canada, Rogers, and McDonald’s.

Outside of work, he’s a long-distance runner, a father of three, and someone who still believes there’s nothing better than getting people into a room together to share something unforgettable.
