Dean Duncan

Dean Duncan is making his sixth appearance with Merlyn Productions, and was last seen as Andrey Andreyevitch Shipuchin in the company's ChekhovFest 2014 production of “The Anniversary”.

During the 2011 Season, Dean appeared as Lestrande in “The Curtain”, when the company presented its Morality Plays triple-feature. He made multiple character appearances in Dramatic Showcase 2012, and has also performed in “The Wraith of Wrath” and “Wind of a Thousand Tales”.

Backstage, Dean has done stage management work on Chase & Hamill's “HEY ABBOTT! - Another Classic Comedy Tribute Show”, the Winnipeg Theatre School's Youth Showcase 2013, and Merlyn Productions' 2013 run of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”.

Outside of Merlyn, Dean has had speaking roles in local independent film and television productions, including “Rob What” and “Dark Corners”.

Born in Winnipeg and growing up in Churchill, Dean returned in 2003 to explore broader horizons. After years of unexpressed interest in theatre and a brief foray into stand-up comedy, he auditioned for Merlyn Productions in Autumn 2011.

Offstage, Dean enjoys reading, cooking, and finding the ridiculous in the mundane.
