Rover Dramawerks
 Terrie
Justus is a fifth-generation Dallasite who knew, when she performed in her
first ballet recital, at the tender age of four, that she belonged on the stage.
She studied ballet for ten years under Phillip Johnson, and at the Edith James
School of Dance. In high school, she acted, performed in musicals, and won awards
in UIL One-Act Play competitions. She majored in Theater Arts at Austin College, Sherman, Texas, where she met her future husband, Bill. Marriage, and children, put the brakes on her theatrical pursuits, but she kept busy as a PTA board member and president. She also served for several years on the board of the Tuzer Ballet Company, of Richardson, where her daughter, Joslyn, was a student. In 1996 she returned to the stage, along with her daughter, in a production of Steel Magnolias. She has since appeared on stage at Rockwall Community Playhouse and Garland Civic Theatre. Her first performance with Rover Dramawerks was in Lady Windermere's Fan, in 2003. That same year she joined their board of directors. She has since appeared in numerous Rover productions, and served as properties designer, crew, and general flunky for many others. Her
most recent performance was in the critically-acclaimed production of Veronica's
Room, which opened Rover's ninth season in 2008. |
