Grady Dennis is so proud to be working with Summer Youth Theater again for his seventh consecutive summer, and he would like to extend his deepest gratitude to Brian Bianco for another incredible opportunity to be a part of this fantastic and vital program.

A native of Sumter, South Carolina, he began studying theater at the age of 6 with the "Sumter Little Theater'' (under the direction of the late Katie Damron).  Grady has been a part of many different facets of the theater from acting, directing, writing, producing, acting/voice/dialect coaching, choreography, and costume design. He believes deeply in the power of young voices and is committed to supporting growing and emerging artists. He has written and starred in over 100 online sketch comedy shorts, which have been featured in “The Huffington Post,” “Time Out New York” and several other media outlets. Other training includes musical theater at Millikin University and improvisational comedy at the famous Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City. Grady is also a year round advisor for the Summer Youth Board.
