Dakota Jans

Dakota Jans is a Los Angeles-based theatre artist, actor, and producer who graduated from USC’s BFA Acting for Stage, Screen, and New Media program. A born-and-raised West Coaster, he currently splits his time between producing live events, mixing cocktails to pay the bills, and helping create the kind of live entertainment that made him fall in love with theatre in the first place. Dakota has remained active in LA’s creative community through improv training at UCB, stage management work with the Odyssey Theatre, and producing stand-up comedy shows around the city. He’s excited to continue collaborating with artists who care deeply about bold, accessible storytelling. Outside the theatre, Dakota spends his time hiking, traveling, and trying to convince his friends to visit Alaska with him.
