Nice to meet you, I’m Dominick, but you can call me Dom!

Hi! I’m Dominick Ventrella (he/him), a dynamic character actor, singer and strong mover based in New York City.

Originally from Ridgefield, Connecticut, I spent A LOT of my childhood performing in theaters around the Fairfield and Litchfield County area. So, naturally, I went on to earn my BFA in Musical Theatre from Western Connecticut State University in May of 2020.

Since graduation I’ve been traveling around the country performing at various regional theaters including my most recent 2 year stint with Charleston Stage as a Resident Actor/Educator for their 46th and 47th seasons, where I got to foster my second passion: teaching theatre to children.

The Reviews Are In!

  • “The character of Gerry Goffin is a complex one filled with blind ambition, self-doubt and uncertainty and it was played exquisitely by Dominick Ventrella. That was a challenging and complex role that Dominick filled with sheer talent.”

    Mark A. Leon (Charleston Daily)

  • "Dominick Ventrella and Matthew Willingham round out the foursome, respectively as Clown 1 and Clown 2 in the playbill. However, their billing provides little justice, as their jester roles come complete with multitude of character quantum leaps. Simply superb!"

    Jeff Walker (Charleston.com)

  • "Dominick Ventrella of Ridgefield was a riot as Smee."

    Nancy Sasso Jannis (Danbury Patch)

  • "A standout performance by Dominick Ventrella as the orphaned street urchin Tobias is deeply moving. He sings like an angel as he reveals his characters devotion. "Not While I'm Around" is magic in his portrayal."

    Elizabeth Young (The Newtown Bee)
