Dustin is currently serving as the Producing Artistic Director for The Monterey Bay Repertory Theatre. In the past Dustin has directed, stared and designed a number of MBR Theatre's equity associated productions as well as designed and managed their children's theatre workshop and held guest lectures with working professionals so the children of the program could gain valuable working insight to the craft and business of live theater.
Our goal at MBRT is to provide a professional, positive, and educational environment for students to learn all aspects of live theater. Self-confidence and self-esteem building are natural and visible effects of our workshop. Most importantly, our students have fun rehearsing, performing and meeting new friends. To meet and exceed this goal, we provide four professional instructors who come from various aspects of live theater.
