Dyonysis is the greek god of theatre.
As far as saints there are none, except talks of making the late Pope John Paul II the saint of theatre.

Genesius of Rome
St. Genesius - 18902 Bytes Born:
Died: c.303
Canonized:
Feast Day: August 25
Patron Saint of: actors, epilepsy, printers, secretaries, stenographers, theatrical performers, musicians
Genesius was a comedian that performed in Rome during the 4th Century. The leader of a theatrical group, Genesius was performing one day before the Emperor Diocletian a skit that ridiculed Christian rites. During this comedy act, Genesius pretended to receive the Sacrament of Baptism. When the water was poured on him he proclaimed himself a Christian. Diocletian at first enjoyed the realistic play, but finding Genesius to be in earnest, ordered him to be tortured and then beheaded.

Try St. Jude -patron of lost causes! Isn't that what acting careers so often are?
