Our Hosts

Faye has enjoyed an extensive career primarily in Southern California in professional entertainment. As an actress, vocalist, comedian, and stunt person, she has performed with the industry’s finest. Known regionally for her past “Mrs. Consumer” radio and television commercials, she also continues as the annual host of our wildly successful “Dancing with our Stars Marquette County Style” local fundraiser from the beginning. Faye appeared this past year in local Theater productions. Notably both Scrooge and The Full Monty with Northern Michigan University Forest Roberts Theatre and The Dixie Swim Club with Lake Superior Theatre. Faye continues to lend her expertise and talents to many various media projects. She loves her hometown of Marquette and always knew she would go into semi-retirement here.  She is delighted to “Hit the stage now and then.”

Rob Shirlin has traveled the country performing onstage, backstage, teaching and sharing his love of theater wherever he can.  He has performed onstage from Texas to the Carolinas, Weidner Center to the Kennedy Center and many places in between.   Rob works with students and adults in our community from the high schools, Lake Superior Theater and other professional productions. Rarely seen on stage anymore, you can still find his work in commercials and hear his voice promoting all this area has to offer.  Rob graduated from NMU with a double major in Theater and Broadcasting.  He is grateful to call Marquette his home. You can often find him at his business downtown, The Edge of Reality, where he shares the world of virtual reality with gamers, Hospice patients, medical patients, Veterans, Scouts, students and anyone with a curious nature.  He is proud to have been with “Dancing With Our Stars Marquette County Style” since the beginning and believes that we can all find ways to give back to the people that call this place home.
