Dale performed in a number of productions, such as The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui by Bertolt Brecht, Metamorphosis by Steven Berkoff and a stage adaptation of Animal Farm by George Orwell.
Whilst at university, Dale took part in the local theatre scene, joining a local theatre company, putting on a number of shows at the university theatre, such as Hamlet, The Sea and Gagarin Way.
