Devin feels there is no better place to return to while making a debut performance with Roustabouts in this hilarious fever dream disguised as theatre. The chemistry this cast had with a single reading is now fully realized and Devin is thrilled to help show off HAND TO GOD in its full… glory.  Other San Diego credits  include: RIPPED (Bradley), ADMISSIONS (Charlie), SHEEPDOG (Ryan), A BRIGHT NEW BOISE (Alex), MONSTERS OF THE AMERICAN CINEMA (Pup), PETER AND THE STARCATCHER (Peter/Boy), A PIECE OF MY HEART (American Men), WOMEN IN JEOPARDY (Trenner).
