Hi! Thanks for visiting.
I’m Dustin, and I love to play pretend.
I have since I was a little kid—spending most of my early years in costume as Robin Hood, Peter Pan, Superman, and various other characters from books, plays, movies, and my imagination.
Being an actor reminds and allows me to cultivate childlike wonder, joy, and imagination, and to see the beauty and magic in everything around me.
I love telling stories, and I always learn something about myself, the world, the universe by doing so.
I firmly believe the art forms/mediums of theatre, TV, and film have a unique ability to bring us together, to help us better see and understand ourselves and one another, and to remind us of the miracle of being alive!
So reach out—let’s play and create something awesome together!
WHAT'S HAPPENING: March 2024
Inanimate by Nick Robideau
“Critic’s Pick! A sly and very likable comedy. A normcore comic variation on ‘Romeo and Juliet’ which insists we regard its central relationship as worthy of high flights of poetic fancy.”
New York Times
Nick Robideau walks a beautiful line between humor and depth in the best (and only!) objectum-sexual romance of the year. Inanimate takes us through surprisingly familiar lanes of teenage crushes and confused longings, all while unfolding the universal tale of embracing one’s true desires. Erica’s world, that breathes life into the inanimate, promises an experience that’s as charming as it is enlightening.
