Dawn’s extensive experience in arts education, performance, and writing is
truly impressive. She has been employed simultaneously as an educator,
professional actress, theater director, and musical theater performer, earning
her an M.A. in theater production. Her work on Tony-nominated and award-winning musicals, from their inception to completion, and with Tony award-winning teams such as Rachel Chavkin and Dave Malloy, Joe D. Pietro,
Jeannine Tesori, Lee Summers, and more, is a testament to her talent and
dedication. She’s an award-winning actor in several regional companies and
most recently worked on Broadway’s “Musical Revival of 1776”. Dawn
continues to build her film and television experience, having worked on an
ABC Pilot with Marg Helgenberger, Chris Columbus and most recently seen
in Kristian King’s “Twice As Good” on Peacock/NBC and Black Oak TV’s “The
Retreat.” She’s directed dozens of stage productions, both musical and
straight plays, and continues to thrive in creating community, building, and
staging stories through collaboration. Her most recent directorial works
include RENT, Beauty and The Beast and an Off-Broadway one man original
show.
Dawn’s writing has garnered the attention of New York and Toronto’s film
community and was recently selected as one of 6 finalists of a Canadian
scriptwriting competition. Dawn is currently working on producing two
original concepts for television: an episodic on normalizing conversations on
mental illness and a sci-fi piece about two sisters’ journey through religion
and time (Spring 2023). She has also completed a Mise en Scene’s episodic
“Forward” as a mother struggling to keep her family together and her peace
of mind, Christopher Booth, writer/producer, and a short heading to festivals
called “Sisterphrenic”.
Dawn has a passion and ambition for arts activism in her many years of
education, and she wants to impart valuable skills to students through
performance, artistic expression, and community outreach. Ms. Troupe
directed her own theatre arts program for middle school for many years.
Several students are now up-and-coming Broadway and television stars .
Dawn devised an after-school drama club that presented full musical
productions each year and won several national awards for musical theatre
presentations (“13 The Musical” and “Mulan”). Her students have won
individual awards in national musical theater competitions (MTCA).
Dawn is truly proud of an anti-bully program she created called
Ambassadors, which still celebrates a yearly anti-bully rally for Fremont
Students to this day. Ambassadors is a student-to-student mentoring
program that empowers students to help prevent bullying, not be bystanders,
and mentor incoming middle school students. During her tenure as a public
school teacher, Dawn was the Fremont district’s delegate to the US
Department of Education’s annual summit on preventing bullying.
Her greatest accomplishments are her children, Jeremy and Vanessa, who
both live in California.
