Juan Isler

Benny
Juan Isler, a native of Kinston, NC, grew up singing and earned a music-business degree at Winston-Salem State University in 1993. He worked as a deejay before coming to Raleigh, where he got a job as technical director at what is now Spectrum News in 2004. He has worked on more than 50 plays in venues across the Triangle on both sides of the stage, as actor, technician and director. He is the board chair at Beltline To Broadway. He is an active member of the American Theater Critics Association, a recipient of the Raleigh Arts Commission's Medal of Arts award, and a current board member of the Arts Commision. He is the host of the show “TORN,” where he is one of the public faces of the online hub Beltline To Broadway (beltlinetobroadway.org, formerly RDU On Stage). All of this, while working as an Event Coordinator at NC State University
