Professionally trained in speech and drama she, together with her late partner Mags, founded the original "Dusmagrik Young People's Theatre Company" in 1981. Many have benefited from this amazing grounding of not just drama but teamwork and discipline forming life skills vital in today's society. Some have reached fame in The West End, on Cruise Ships, Municipal Theatres throughout this country and abroad or formed their own drama, choirs and dance companies.
Upon Dusty's retirement Mary Carter kindly and professionally took over the reigns. Dusty attends every production where she is now lovingly greeted by her ex students enthusiastically presenting offspring following the tradition.
Today's cast includes several folk who first began with Dusty when very young performing alongside other friends all eager to ensure this special production is certainly one to remember as we Celebrate her "90 Glorious Years".
