Tony Award nominee Colman Domingo wrote and stars in this raucous contemporary comedy about life, death and dealing with loss. When his mother passes away, struggling African-American actor Gil rejects the ordinary rituals of grief and opts instead to embark on a rapturous road trip to the happiest place on earth -- with his mother's ashes in tow. A runaway hit of the 2011 New Works Festival, Wild With Happy is a tragicomic tale of one son's manic, yet heartfelt, mission to honor his dearly departed mother in his own personal way. Learn More
