Grady is thrilled to be returning to SYT for his fourth consecutive Summer alongside such a gifted cast, directors, and production team. He would like to extend his deepest gratitude to Brian Bianco for the opportunity to work with the program again. A native of Sumter, South Carolina, he began studying theater at the age of six 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 coaching, choreography, and costume design. Grady was last seen on stage at The Wilton Playshop in Title of Show as Hunter, Curtain Call as Bob in Beyond Therapy, Charlie in The Foreigner, and Jack in The Boys Next Door.  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.
