At 11 years old, Dallin was invited by a family friend to see a musical at the Ellen Eccles Theater. He accepted with reluctance as many an 11 year old boy probably would. Little did he know how that show would have a hold on him for years to come. As you may have guessed, that show was The Scarlet Pimpernel. For the first time Dallin saw how great theatre could be! That memory stayed with him until 7 years later when Music Theater West announced auditions for The Scarlet Pimpernel. Having begun performing a couple years before and now a fresh high school graduate he jumped at the chance to audition. Expecting very little he was cast as Elton in the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel! Here he was welcomed by incredibly kind and talented people who built him up and made the experience unforgettable. Now another 7 years later Dallin is honored to return to the show as the Pimpernel himself. He feels so blessed to have the opportunity to bring this character to life! His gratitude goes out to his family and his friends, both inside the theatre community and out, who have supported him all these years!

This is Todd's second show after a twelve-year break from theatre. Years of schooling up to a Ph.D. in statistics and instructional technology are what kept him away for so long. Once he'd secured a career as a statistics lecturer here at Utah State University, he finally came back to play the role of Donkey in Cache Theatre Company's "Shrek: The Musical" this past April, and he couldn't have asked for a more magical jump-start back onto the stage. This time, with Music Theatre West, he is over-the-moon excited to be sharing the acting stage with his best friend of over ten years, Ben Ash, for the very first time, which has been the dream for a very long time. He hopes that as Antony and Hastings, they can share with you all the fun they're having in the background throughout the story of The Scarlet Pimpernel. In fact, every member of this ensemble brings so much charm to the stage, Todd is confident that you will enjoy the show no matter who you're looking at (but as you test that theory, don't forget to watch our incredibly captivating leads! Maybe just come see the show more than once). While playing a human this time around has been much easier than the demands of his previous role, Todd is really enjoying a moment in "The Creation of Man" you'll see tonight that makes the Donkey in him feel right at home. He thinks you'll like it too.
