An outspoken, passionate, and proactive advocate for all aspects of theatre and the performing arts, Triston Wallace describes himself as a versatile performing arts professional with numerous credits to his name. However, he is perhaps best recognized as a choreographer, theatre critic, and triple-threat performer, as well as the go-to casting director for numerous artistic and commercial theatre and film projects.
Triston has received vocal training from Tisha’s Vocal Academy, Dr. Vertrelle Mickens, the Marionettes Chorale, and the Eastern Youth Chorale, as well as acting training from Raymond Choo Kong in 2013, and Necessary Arts in 2017 and The Acting Center – Los Angeles in 2024. His performance credits include Decibel’s Zombie Island (2016–2019), Zico (2018), Les Misérables (2014), The King and I (2013), The Sound of Music (2012), and Hairspray (2012), among others. As a choreographer, he has worked with numerous choirs and theatre productions, with notable projects including Native Caribbean Foundation’s Rockin’ Snow White (2019–2020), Rockin’ Robin Hood (2023) and The Big Bad Musical (2025); Brian Mac Farlane’s Christmas Joy (2015–2019), Simeon Moodoo’s The Inspector with Naparima College (2016–2017) and DNA Productions (2023), AIDA the Musical (2018) with the Presentation College Mixed Choir; John Thomas’ Showtime (2024 – 2025) and Believe – A Jukebox Christmas (2024); and ALPHA with Naparima College for the 2025 Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival, Canada.
Beyond performance and choreography, Triston has extensive experience in technical theatre, having trained in stage management under Leslie Nathaniel and interned in lighting design under Curtis Bachan. He is also an arts administrator, publicist, certified inbound marketer, and social media manager specializing in marketing for the arts. His clients in this field have included Kes the Band, Shurwayne Winchester, Juan Pablo Alba Dennis, Raymond Choo Kong Productions, and the National Drama Association of Trinidad and Tobago (NDATT), among others. Triston has also served NDATT as Vice President (2017–2018), currently sits as one of its Trustees, and is the Director of Public Relations at the Caribbean Secondary Schools’ Drama Association.
In 2008, with the goal of making the performing arts a viable career option for creatives in T&T, Triston founded The Trinidad and Tobago Performing Arts Network. This non-profit organization is dedicated to creating a more visible, accessible, and sustainable performing arts industry in the country. The Network has since become “an invaluable part of the T&T and regional theatre and performing arts landscape, a digital beacon leading the way into the future of a more unified and collaborative Creative Caribbean community.”
